👏
Lacuna Coil - "Our Truth". Cristina's voice SOARS.
Uploaded recently from the same person who posted the "Swamped" live video, from the same show: th-cam.com/video/hS6ZArcUzhU/w-d-xo.html
Yes!
Yes❤
Please listen to Our Truth 🥺😭
At “I know kung fu” I lost it, ha ha ha!
And yesss please let’s nerd out together 🖤
We would all enjoy the opportunity to see/hear that conversation.
I've enjoyed Lacuna Coil since the first time I heard Our Truth in 2006 🤘😁👍
Yesss! Please do an interview ("tea time") with Elizabeth!
Lacuna Coil has been my favorite band ever since I first heard it on a Polish metal station in 2004. I'm stateside, in the U.S., but was searching for new (to me) & better metal than I was hearing on U.S. rock stations. So on that Polish metal station I first heard "Swamped".
It blew me away!
Within a few weeks of that, I bought each of Lacuna Coil's albums, EPs, and Singles released up to that point. I had to import some of the CDs back then.
I've introduced your music to many family, friends, coworkers, etc. over the 19 years since! Nearly everyone has been blown away by how amazing your band's music sounds. The band members' skill at your live shows is very, very good too. It's relatively rare to see a band where their live performances are on par with, or even better than, the studio recordings. That shows serious skill and your band definitely has that!
Definitely, keep on rockin, for the fans! 🤘
😂 Cristina, thank you for creating such beautiful music with Lacuna Coil!
Please make this happen!
Hey Cristina. A couple of fun facts… I will turn 70 this year, so I am guessing I am at the upper fringe of your fan base. Also, weirdly, I discovered LC many years ago as a chance byproduct of Google search for information about a “lacune” found in an MRI of my brain. A happy accident, for sure! I have always enjoyed LC’s music, but Elizabeth’s analysis takes it to a much deeper level. Well done.
Her live performance of "Our Truth" is amazing.
heavily agree
Elizabeth reacting to Lacuna coil is a marriage made in heaven.
It's a lie!
@@TheCharismaticVoice apparently so 😂♥️.
Hanging out for the tea time interview Elizabeth! 👍😁
@@TheCharismaticVoice the live version The 119 Show would've been better because Ryan's drumming no diss to Richard I ❤️ Richard but damn Ryan's drumming on the 119 Show is drumming perfection.
I love drummer's and Ryan is so good.
@@TheCharismaticVoice If Lacuna Coil then The Gathering with the impeccable Anneke van Giersbergen, who were an inspiration to many bands and singers since '95. So, when 'Travel' by The Gathering, TG25 concerts, Doornroosje, 2014? You know Devin, Arjen and Simone dropped her name during your teatime interviews. Must be some reason. ;)
I have to say "Senzafine" is probably one of my favorites. It is in Italian and it's beautiful. The words are intricately woven with the melody and Cristina's And Andrea's voices. I remember they played it acoustically at one of the concerts I attended. That acoustic set was everything. It made things more intimate, as if they bared part of their soul with the audience. I have been a fan since "Comalies." I have seen them live a few times, and they do not disappoint. They are very down to earth. If you have not listened to "Comalies XX" please do! It's a beautiful surprise and treat to hear some of the favorites reimagined. It is a very refreshing reminder why we have come to love this band as much as we have. ♡
Agreed!
Definitely agreed.
Heaven's a Lie was the song that got me into Lacuna Coil way back in 2003! Amazing band
Senzafine is the song that got me hooked. A really magnificent song.
same for me... wow - already 20 years! If you have a chance you need to see them live - they are fabulous!!!
I hope I get a chance to see them again soon!
I remember finding it on a sample CD from a music mag. Loved this song ever since.
Ditto!!
Same!
I honestly forgot how much I love this song. Thank you for bringing it back to my lexicon!
For a pronounced contrast between Christina's and Andrea's singing, I recommend you give a listen to "The house of shame" from their album Delirium. The bridge gives me goosebumps every f**ing time 😆
It's so good I must admit I try to sing along with it if I'm alone.
Totally love Lacuna Coil. The song "Our Truth" from their Karmacode album is a particular favourite of mine. Completely Majestic!
You would absolutely love their song “Our truth” her vocals on that song blow me away every, single, time!!
100% agree on "Our Truth"! In slightly earlier work too, Cristina did some similar vocal soaring in "To Live Is To Hide" from the Unleashed Memories EP.
"Our Truth" was the first song I ever heard by Lacuna Coil and got me into them. It's also the reason I bought my first 7-string guitar! I had to learn how to play it!
Same here!
I definitely agree 💯. Heaven's a lie and Our Truth are masterpieces.
I completely agree, the first time I heard Our Truth I bought tickets to their tour and a copy of the album within a week. After nine of their gigs I have never been disappointed
When I discovered Lacuna Coil I was captured by the contrast of the male vs. female vocals. Sometimes it feels Angelic vs. Demonic. Other times it's a beautiful Day meets Night as Sunsets and Sunrises. I'm hooked, I really enjoy everything about this band. Oh and the instrumentals are top shelf. More LC please!
I love seeing her in live performances. She just exudes that strong Italian Woman vibe every moment on stage.
I've loved Lacuna Coil since I first heard them. I've had the pleasure of meeting them and they're absolutely wonderful people ontop of phenomenal musicians
Hard to believe this is over 25 years old, I love them so much
2002, not 25 years
@@MrsPostal83 you don’t have to get triggered over someone correcting you on the internet. I was just telling you it came out in 2002, which is 21 years not 25. Calm down.
It turned 20 a few months ago, which is why Comalies XX came out this past October to coincide with that.
It’s still wild that it’s two decades old now, though, no doubt about it.
@@TheComicBookJoker right I know I saw them in Tampa in 2003 ,it is insane lol
Oh God Liz. I have missed listening to music with you. Thank you. I've been away for the last year. I'm so glad to be back and your still here.
I'm italian and Lacuna Coil was one of the first band I saw in concert when I was just fifteen! Cristina's voice it's amazing! Nice to see you like them so much 🤘😁
Love love Cristina. Lacuna Coil is one of my absolute biggest inspirations. And she’s an absolute sweetheart. The entire band is amazing
Love Lacuna Coil. Consistently brilliant every time I see them live. I was very lucky to see them in the early 00's in UK when they did an acoustic set in the middle of their set. Amazing.
I always assumed the mispronunciation of "wit' your love" was due to them signing in their second language, and this song is 20 years old now!
My favourites for Cristina's vocal performances will always be "Hostage to the Light" and "Cybersleep" from their 2014 album Broken Crown Halo. Incredible performances, always raises the hairs on my neck 🖤
Heaven's a Lie was my first Lacuna Coil song. I fell in love and had to have the albums right then but as a huge Depeche Mode fan...I can tell you that their cover of Enjoy the Silence is the greatest DM cover I've ever heard and there are a lot of really great ones but Cristina's voice is just so beautiful!
Have you heard Tori Amos' Enjoy the Silence?
I don't like DM era type of music but that particular songs stands out and yes LC did it justice.
Their version is the first I ever heard of that song and I still love it.
Agreed 💯
Lacuna Coil was my gateway to discovering other amazing female fronted bands like WIthin' Temptation, Nightwish, Epica, and Sirenia. Christina Scabbia is and has from the start always been amazingly talented. Comalies is an amazing album and has several amazing pieces of music on it, look forward to some more of the band being featured.
Edit: When you mentioned "cast a spell" at the end it reminded me of their song Spellbound. Alot of great songs from this band, Our Truth, Spellbound, Closer, the Acoustic versions of Heaven's a Lie and Senzafine from a live recording at WAAF (a now defunct radio station out of Boston, MA), I Like It, The Ghost Woman and The Hunter, Stars, When a Dead Man Walks, and awesome covers like Losing my Religion and Enjoy the Silence.
Same here. ❤
And other live acoustics from now defunct WCCC. Gosh I miss that station.
@@GrumpyGamer28 didn't know about that one but I grew up listening to WAAF living in central MA. A shame what happened to the station, got replaced by some religious music station now. They still have a website that plays rock, but no DJ's and everything is automated. Just not the same, Mistress Carrie and the other personalities were part of what made the station fun to listen to while working or cleaning.
@@rogerballoujr.6244 100% what happened to WCCC. A few personalities tried making a web streaming station to keep it alive, but it wasn't the same.
Throw in Kamelot and Sonata Arctica
The fact that she started out as a backup singer for this band is impossible to fathom. Obviously they figured that out. My favorite Lacuna Coil song, on all levels, the band, the vocals, the concept, the words.
Lacuna Coil is amazing, Cristina's singing is Angelic 😇 💖. Some other personal favorites are "Spellbound", "End of Time", "Trip the Darkness" and "Layers of Time".
"Layers of Time" kicks! So does "Veneficium" from the same album. She sings much of that songin Latin, I recall.
I love her voice too. So fun seeing you fall in love with her vocals!
If there is one Lacuna Coil song that I will never, ever get sick of, it's The Ghost Woman and the Hunter. Gets me right in the heart. Every. Single. Time. ❤️
Facts!
Yes! A truly beautiful song.
That's Daylight Dancer for me, but this whole album was great for sure!
For some reason, that song always puts tears in my eyes. Cristina taps into some amazing emotionality in her tone for that track.
Especially when you read the lyrics, understand the story, and hear her sing it. The tale is heart wrenching and beautiful.
all the pain and despair that song provoques is overwelming ¡¡¡¡¡¡ one of my favorites too
She started the video says: I feel in love with Lacuna Coil, and need more.
I have to say: Was the same to me in 2008! And still my favorite band since then.
This band is like wine!🖤💜❤🖤
How can I get you interested in Chris Harms and Lord of the Lost? send them to the ESC? Oh wait, that is also happening after they released an album that reached #1 in the charts with 6 days between announcement and release... A band that has been personally invited the second time now to open for Iron Maiden must be doing something interesting right. Suggestion: Blood and Glitter.
I certainly support that suggestion, even if I consider Blood and Glitter not even LOTL's best song/album! 🤘🏻🖤 From Germany
@@jo_g.germany opinions and tastes differ. But there is no doubt that vocally B&G showcases all of Chris. 🙂
I concur! Born With A Broken Heart from Sinister Summer Breeze live stream would be another good choice! Here's the link:
th-cam.com/video/Oh7vVGd-2Cw/w-d-xo.html
OMG LOTL is so boring 😴😴😴😴
@@regor5150 Are you trying to end up on LOTL merch? 😂
Saw Lacuna Coil a very long time ago in a small venue in Cardiff, Wales. Remember it being the first show I went to alone and it being totally amazing. Will always remember that show like it was yesterday 🖤 love this band
One of the most fav female vocals that ever heard, you took me back 21 years snce the 1st time i listen to this song and it stayed on shuffle for more than a week
She has an INCREDIBLE voice. Just amazing.
I saw them play last weekend and they far exceeded my expectations, which were high! I felt so much gratitude for how hard they brought it. It was like seeing Jordan play, not willing to leave any fans disappointed.
Oh! I wake up and Lacuna Coil is on The Charismatic Voice! Its a good day! One thing I must say… Elizabeth, as a man who has lost the majority of his hearing the way you take such delight in, and have the ability to break a song down brings the color back in my memory so fully. I have worn out soooo many cassette tapes of bands like Lacuna Coil. My memory appreciates you, you add the brightness and joy back just watching you express the fun you are having!
Thank you for being YOU.
I LOVE this album. Every track. I've seen them live a couple of times and she sounds absolutely amazing live as well, spot on.
I first found this band through their cover of Depeche Mode's 'Enjoy the silence'. Little did I know then what a rabbit hole I would end up going down, but I loved every minute of it. Cristina's voice is enchanting, enthralling even. The depth of the music behind her only amplifies the effect.
The b-side on that single is also AMAZING. "Virtual Environment" is a very beautiful, extremely unique song.
Didn't even know it was a cover, when I heard it first. lol
@@Warpwaffel This comment was how I learned it was a cover. 😂
I fell in love with Lacuna Coil in 8th grade, still love them 20 years later
Such a great song and a fantastic showcase for Cristina's low notes. I absolutely adore those. Would love to see your take on some of their more recent stuff which tends to get quite heavy. *Blood, Tears, Dust* would be my recommendation. There's a great recording from their London show you used for your Swamped reaction.
All their hits and most well known songs aside, Lacuna Coil has many... many fantastico canzoni buried deep on all their albums. Cristina & Andrea throw their souls into each one of them.
The 1998-2006 era of Lacuna Coil is the best with Karmacode being the high water mark. A great video to react to for its sheer energy and storytelling is "Nothing Stands in Our Way"
Comalies destroys Karmacode IMO
I remember listening to tracks from 'In a reverie' back in -98, but I can for the life of me not remember what site it was. It must've been before MySpace. Bands had their own pages where you could listen to samples, and 'Falling Again' became an instant favourite.
@@ryukan250 concordo
I still listen to their album Unleashed Memories once every week, It's timeless
The part where you were talking about it being magical is mostly in the composition. It's got multiple underlying sounds creating a thick musicsphere to fly on. The tone, not just of every instrument, but the over all tone, which when in the several octaves range, can build chords upon chords and play with melodies that wouldn't be possible other wise.
Her vocal range compliments the range of the other instruments as well. The rich vocals and her use of dipthongs complimented other melodies in the background. Truly beautiful work. The mastering in this song is great, adjusting the levels to support her vocals just right helps to bring that magical full feeling to the song.
You really need to check out the performance of the song Falling Again in Milan 2003. Pure passion and energy in that one, and it's just Cristina singing on that one.
Couldn’t agree more! I wish there was a better quality recording of it but I have watched it a ridiculous amount of times!
@@cirriustech Did an upscale from my DVD a while back, I won't probably get a better version. th-cam.com/video/4_vHSyR3J2E/w-d-xo.html
All these throwbacks to my teenage years... Lacuna Coil, Korn, Deftones. I'd be thrilled to see you do a reaction to one of my favorite bands of the era, Stabbing Westward. One of the most underrated bands in my opinion!
The song the introduced me to them back in the 00's!
You should TOTALLY do a tea time interview with Cristina, when she's not doing music she games on Twitch, I'm sure she will feel right at home with your format of interview.
one of the bands I enjoyed most going to their concerts. the first time I went to their concert was in Italy, I happened to be in Padova and looked for metal concerts nearby, and since then I'm a big fan!
you could tell a lot about the band's quality by watching them live 😃
Blood, Tears, Dust from Delirium
First time I heard it I couldn’t believe it was the same Lacuna Coil I had listened to before. The vocals were on a completely better level than their previous work and it shows how they grew as artists.
Right! Completely different level of singing!
My fav song of theirs.
Lacuna coil has been one of my favorite bands for over 20 years
In a Reverie was my first album from LC. Falling again, the voice caused goosebumps.
Got the same Album in first, with the EP at the same time with "Falling" 's first iteration in it.
This is the first Lacuna Coil song I ever heard, and the first time I ever heard it, I had no idea Andrea was in the band. I thought Cristina was bringing that rasp and grit herself in that chorus.
I still bet she could.
I did also notice the slide on the word "lie", whereas it's more of a deliberate descending scale in the quiet chorus. Later on, when I realised Andrea's vocal was the reason for the shift in tone, I often wondered whether it was because he didn't quite have the control of his pitch that she does, or if it was simply a stylistic decision for contrast.
Ethereal was the word I felt best fit her voice. Ethereal and Gothic. She takes me to a dreamy place when she lets a note carry on 😍 I remember this song debuted on the reboot of Headbangers Ball on MTV and it just stuck with me for weeks. They made an instant fan out of me.
Ethereal was their band name before Lacuna Coil! Apparently they only dropped it because some other band of the same name already had a record deal. But yes, "Ethereal" is perhaps still the best way to describe their music!
@@SonicImmersion_ That's a cool factoid. Thank you!
That is the perfect word for it. Her voice feels almost unreal at times, like that couldn't possibly come from a person.
I've had the pleasure of seeing this band perform twice. One time was at a venue small enough that I was able to meet a couple of the band, including Cristina. She was nice enough to say hello and sign all my CDs. Sadly, I lost all that stuff in a fire a while ago but I still have the fond memories. Lacuna Coil is still one of my all time favorites but another band I would like to recommend is Lovebites from Japan. They're all female and they're one of the best power metal bands I've heard in years. Their drummer is an absolute machine, they have the dueling guitars and their vocalist has a R&B background but she's transitioned to metal in fantastic fashion.
You should do tight rope xx by them. The 2020 version. Her vocals are insane jn that song.
Second this for sure. Even better would be a double feature do the original version and xx right after in the same video!
All the new versions are really bad, no reason to ever listen to that garbage
No, they really are not ‘garbage’. The only one that I wasn’t a gigantic fan of was Swamped, and I’m sure that’s because I’m very attached to the original. Nothing as lovely as ‘fans’ that can’t handle when bands change or experiment with their sound.
I don't remember when I first heard Lacuna Coil... probably ~20 years ago now, and this was one of their first songs I listened to. Personally never got the impression that the title should be taken literally, more describing two people who fell in love, found that each other's idea of 'heaven' was not what they wanted, and are now trying to separate without breaking each other's hearts.
Suggestion: Red Handed Denial - “Father Said” (Lauren Babic live one take performance) Much more recent version of Lauren who can sing beautifully and scream with the best of them. The lyrics are very personal to her too and is worth listening for both her voice and the story.
I would LOVE to hear Elizabeth react to Lauren's metal scream.
@@aoifeobailey5757 I knooooow! And going in and out of her screams. Chef’s kiss. Maybe you can add a suggestion comment and one day we’ll get enough. I’ve been trying for months!
Same here! And here's the thing, Lauren Babic doesn't have the international fame and exposure that signed bands like Lacuna Coil and Evanescence get, so do check her out!
Open and expansive, thats exactly the words
Christina plays the role as “The Mother” on Arjen Lucasson’s album Areyon The Theory of Everything. She sings so gorgeous! Another Star studded album jam packed with many familiar singers known in the Areyon Universe.
Cristina does a real good job using the letter " h " in the word here . 👍🎧🤘😃
YES!!!!! so excited!!
Elizabeth, you would *love* the live version of Falling from the same show as your Swamped reaction was from. Cristina is singing while suspended in mid air :D
I highly recommend Our Truth, Upsidedown, Reckless, Trip the Darkness and Delirium for their newer music.
I second Lacuna Coil - "Our Truth". Cristina's voice SOARS! So beautifully!
“Within Me” is a beautiful song.
Continuing to recommend Ex Libris, a progressive metal band with a classical soprano!
Her best song by a mile. Love it
Wow! Seeing Elizabeth and Cristina having tea together is going to be one of the best moments I will ever experience 💞
Their best song, plain and simple!
Megadeth did a version of "Tout Le Monde" with Cristina Scabia on it. You should check that out. It's pretty damned awesome.
@peter worth...I 1,000 percent this.beautiful song that is even more beautiful with Christina's vocals
Her vocals are annoyingly low and hard to hear in the mix on that track. I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised, she would dominate Dave’s voice at normal levels.
Lacuna Coil are the best. So happy I got to see them twice :) they always have the outfits/design top notch. Recommended songs to try: Cold Heritage (this one to make you cry), Senzafine (entirely in Italian!), End Of Time (for the incredible outfits in the video clip). So many good options.
Comalies was their breakout album and has lots of great songs. i mean i have UNSPOKEN tattooed on my forearm together with the LC logo.
Lost Lullaby will also be a fave of mine forever. so many great songs throughout their ongoing career.
Half Life, Hyperfast, To Myself I Turned, Cold, Falling, Within Me, No Need to Explain, This is my Dream (still their best i think), Spellbound, Wike Awake (maybe the most impressive of Cristinas singing) Purify (soooo effing good)
i remember when i first heard them, a german metal show on a music station (not MTV but a german one called VIVA) had a report on a Moonspell Live concert in spain and Lacuna Coil were the support band, they showed like 2 songs from their set when they only had their debut ep out at that time and i immediatly fell in love. Met the band twice in their early days, genuinly nice people.
I remember there was an internet radio station a long time ago that played heavens a lie at least ones an hour. It was requested constantly.
Woohoo! One of the first songs I ever heard from them. You’ll get a younger version of them this time, but they’ve all aged like fine wine.
Lacuna Coil did a tribute song to Peter Steele, the singer of Type O Negative, who I know you also adore. The song is called My Spirit, you should check it out.
I felt the red was temptation or possibly belief [not religious]. It always made me think that whatever she bought into that was "Heaven" gets cast aside, but then whatever it was that got her caught into that first lie the firet time came back again. Then she struggles on trying to determine if she should accept that again to be her "Heaven".
Cristina absolutely kills it in a track from that album called "Humane"
Really enjoy your breakdown of vocals and songs, especially the rock/metal ones. If this gets seen I'd be curious to see a video on "Gravedigger" by Architects
Love Lacuna Coil. Cristina's voice is amazing.
Love Lacuna Coil 💗 I think their style encourages other bands to be good in the same genre . Save me. , When a dead man walks , entwined , Spellbound , heaven's a lie , those are just a few songs that are amazing 🤩 👍🤘🎧💯 and a 🌹 for you Nebulana
Takes me back to high school watching Lacuna Coil for the first time on Head Bangers Ball.
Trip into darkness has got to be next in the lacuna coil,such an amazing song,and they are beautiful band.
Heavens A Lie is the first LC song I ever heard, back in 2007. The one track I like the original light years more than the XX remake (and nothing bad about the XX version). You might give that one a listen, it's more in the style of today's LC and Andrea is growling his part more.
Great review! This was the song that got me into Lacuna Coil way back when. I want to recommend you check out Gojira - "L'Enfant Sauvage." One of the most unique and powerful vocalists in metal. Joe's gifted at doing harsh vocals with something like actual pitch and tone.
Please watch this song recorded at WAAF Boston. Her voice is absolutely beautiful and it’s all in Italian. Amazing.
I love this band . I've seen them live and they are Fabulous. I love the song she did with Megadeth too. If you get a chance to see them live you will not regret it at all .
I'd recommend anything off of Live from the Apocalypse. It was awesome that Lacuna Coil did a live stream of Black Anima during the pandemic. The entire performance is epic but I think Save Me, Apocalypse and Bad Things are highlights.
Thank you for reminding me of this gorgeous song!! Just took me back like 20years to "Swamped" the first track I heard by them 💗🔥 They're incredible for switching between passionate and ethereal
The first album I got was Comalies, and Cristina's vocals on "Aeon" blew me away
Lacuna Coil are like one of my all time favourite bands, saw Christina unplugged in Glasgow singing Aeon and she moved me to tears. The band have evolved over the years and it’s why they stay so awesome.
Cristina and Lacuna coil is perfect!
Maybe also try Ignea. They are similar and also great.
There's a rare gem by LC that's a b-side from the album previous to this called "Lost Lullaby" that has both incredible lyrics and is probably still my favorite vocal performance by her. I wholly recommend that one.
Actually funny story about "Heavens a Lie" for me. I actually sent them an email probably back in early 2003 because there are mutliple versions of the video for this song and I wanted to know the story behind it and so I asked why they shot two different videos and Cristina replied to it saying "Sure no problem. There's actually 3 different versions." Not sure why I laughed so hard when I read that, I guess it was the matter of factness in it. Anyways, while this is the best shot of the videos, the first one they did which was super low budget, and kind of romantic horror themed (if that's even a thing, I just don't know how else to describe it) is my favorite, because its just plain fun.
I wouldn't say it's that rare as it's been a permanent inclusion on Unleashed Memories for many, many years now
The 2020 version of this song "Heaven's a Lie XX" off Comalies XX is amazing and worth checking out as well. It's got a completely different vibe from the original.
Would love to hear you react to the band’s 2022 version of the song.
Like many others, "Heaven's A Lie" was my first introduction to Lacuna Coil and the awesomeness of Cristina Scabbia's voice. Since then, they've only gotten better, and I recommend "Our Truth" as your next analysis (though "Fragile" from the same album, _Karmacode_ , would also be a good choice).
I totally second both of those recommendations.
It's already been mentioned, but you should do, Our Truth. I love all her music but that song is my absolute favorite.
Loved your reaction Elizabeth. Lacuna Coil was one of the bands that got me into symphonic metal some years ago and they still hit me hard, especially Cristina's vocals.
YAYYY HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS ONE
Let's see, some suggestions for future Lacuna Coil reactions.
Reckless, Layers of Time, Nothing Stands In Our Way, One Cold Day(I think that was written about a band member who passed away), Daylight Dancer, Comalies(verses are in Italian), Kill The Light, Losing My Religion(REM cover), The House of Shame, Live to Tell(Madonna cover), Our Truth, Enjoy the Silence(Depeche Mode cover), Heir of a Dying Day, 1.19. Think that's enough?
I agree with nearly all of these recommendations! I would add "Halflife", "Hyperfast", "Stars", "To Live Is To Hide", "Virtual Environment". And for anyone with less time, "Stars" off the Halflife EP.
You should have a listen to lacuna coil end of time. Cristina's voice is beautiful on it and her and Andrea work amazing together
Save me or trip the darkness!!! For almost 20yrs Christina's voice when she opens it up gives my chills n goosebumps the power is next level....
Second vote for "Trip the Darkness"!
Christina is my favorite female vocalists of all time. Imo, one of her most impressive performances is -Start Again from the Diablo 2 soundtrack.
Lacuna Coil - Blood Tears Dust. Cristina's voice is really special in this one !!
I recommend these Lacuna Coil songs:
Tight Rope
Unspoken
Reverie
Stars
Senzafine
When a dead man walks
Falling again
Comalies
I also just wanted to say the alternate video to Heavens a Lie is my favorite version
Happy to see you reacting to LC again Elizabeth! Looking forward to "Our Truth", "I´m Not Afraid" or "Daylight Dancer" in the future. ❤
"Daylight Dancer", original studio version from 2002, has long been one of my very favorite songs from Lacuna Coil!
@@SonicImmersion_ badass song no doubt!
Elizabeth , I like Cristina better than Amy Lee , that's my idea of no comparison .. 👍✌️🙂
Go after their live shows, they are high quality video/audio and Lacuna are always fun on stage!
I will repeat my last comment on their Comalies song you checked not long ago - review that one (so you have it fresh in your mind) and then react to the new one (Comalies XX) right after!
it's a very interesting "contrast".
Overall, the live shows (like the 119 show in London ) are absolutely great!
0:24 OK guys, it's our moment: Elizabeth pointed the microphone toward us because it's the part of the concert when we have to sing, so let's chant all together:
