Anneke just captures my heart. That smile, not contrived one bit. Seems to be the same cherubic girl in those early Gathering clips but an even better singer with age!! I have to say I'm not even that big a fan of this blend of metal but I've probably watched this video over 20 times by now. It just gives me hope for some reason... And can I say that back up singer is spectacular too!! The perfect contrast to Anneke with her more earthy tones. So glad Anneke still celebrates hearty and heavy music and did not go all pop diva on us!! Stay with us Anneke!!
Anneke is born to smile and sing. Therefore she makes me smile and sing! Doesn't matter how false 'cause I'm surfing on the wave of her glow as long as this is playing! Thank you Arjen!Thank you Anneke!
Talk about an all-star lineup ;) Ed Warby, Joost van den Broek, Johan van Stratum, Maaike Peterse, Ben Mathot, Timo Somers, Marcela Bovio and of course Anneke and Arjen. Damn. :)
The last section of solo reminds of Serge Prokofiev wide melody steps. Amazing! Последняя секция соло просто потрясающая. Заставляет вспомнить Прокофьева.
🎵 Watching the crowd through the window Looking down on the streets that I love The city's rising and growing We are blessed to reside in this town As I'm hearing the sounds of the harbor Where our sailors and traders call I imagine the way of the workers Through the anguish they still stand tall As I'm making my way to the centre Morning birds in the park sing along In all their sweet subtle splendor Seems we all are in love with their song And the prince, lords and emperor Embrace the merchants' houses In the heart of Amsterdam (Here in the heart of Amsterdam) Around the town hall Proud people crowd the alley In the heart of Amsterdam Across the canals' tiny bridges Where I pause to absorb city life From the poor to the richest Exotic foreigners passing me by I'm in awe of the beautiful paintings Can't believe that Rembrandt's here As the seasons are changing He'll immortalize all we hold dear May we write, search and discover May we craft, philosophize To guide and to govern Build our future eternal and bright And the prince, lords and emperor Embrace the merchants' houses In the heart of Amsterdam (Here in the heart of Amsterdam) Around the town hall Proud people crowd the alley (alley) In the heart of Amsterdam Strolling along down the alley This is home, this is where I belong Scent of fresh salted sea breeze I'll be here till the last teardrop falls And the prince, lords and emperor Embrace the merchants' houses- In the heart of Amsterdam (Here in the heart of Amsterdam) Around the town hall Proud people crowd the alley (alley) In the heart of Amsterdam 🎵
Those lucky bastards :P On a random day, taking a random walk and then... BAM!! a 17th century Anneke :3 how cool is that XD I want that album now!!! :3
Damn, look at Arjen. He's having a bloody good time and you could basically see the rockstar persona in him slowly emerging like in the old days. Too bad he's such a recluse though, and doesn't feel comfortable doing live appearances. I hope I get to see him at least once in my life. :(
I never heard it before. This is such a song that you keep on playing and playing. Arjen's performance in Vengeance and all his stuff later on is amazing. And yes, Anneke is by far my favorite female singer. So pure, like an angel she sings with her big smile. Omg I love this woman and wanna sing and play with her. What a beautiful video!!
В первую очередь хочу выразить свое уважение всей группе! Ребята ,Вы великолепные музыканты! Спасибо Вам,за Ваше творчество! И отдельный восторг,это к Вашей вокалистке!!! Ангельский голос, как говорят... Так это про нее...Низкий земной поклон!!! Господи и куда мне теперь скрытся, от ее улыбки,как эту улыбку теперь выжечь из мозга.....Как?
What a powerful song...with so many great musicians, all from bands I love into one number...Anneke you look ravishing in the dress...having fun in Amsterdam
marts99 "Metal in the loosest term", said the melodic death metal musician, thinking that criticising other artist's genre qualification would be good publicity for his own band.
Marcin Olszański huh? I wasn't criticising ONE bit man, I love heaps of types of music just as much as metal! Only making a tongue-in-cheek remark because everything seems to be labelled metal these days, and I have zero interest in promoting my band.
"A traveler in time wonders through the streets of Amsterdan.... while the music from the band in another dimension plays, until that sound have reached her ears, then the maiden dances with her haert, as well as the soul starts to sings..."
OMG this song is flawless! Masterpiece of the par Lucassen/van Giersbergen and one thing more, Annie if you had lived in the XXVII century I'm sure that you had been the most requested girl of the Netherlands, There's no man that can handle such beauty and tenderness that you express
Ο μαγικός αυλός στην εισαγωγή, με τις -για πολλοστή φορά- θεικές μουσικές κατευθύνσεις του Arjen και....τι χαμόγελο έχεις ρε Anneke, τι θετική ενέργεια περνάς άμεσα στους γύρω σου....τι φωνάρα, τι τι τι....Σας ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ!!! Τίποτ'άλλο!!!!
Arjen Anthony Lucassen só faz trabalho bom, é impressionante. E ainda chama a Anneke que é uma cantora maravilhosa e versátil. Sou fã de verdade desses dois
I am completely in love with this album! Everything about it is perfect! This video is my favorite from the album! Anneke is adorable in this video! So many incredible musicians together! I wish I could visit overseas and see a live show.
I discovered your work since I have heard Soulspeel (Brazilian Project of hevy metal and opera version of known musics) and I could listeen the part that Arjeen sang in We Got The Right. After that I am in contact with all works by Arjeen at youtube and found you! Your voice and musics are so beautiful and so celtic that leaves me to another time. Thank you for this great songs! It is so pleasured hear this!
Anneke siempre me electriza, su voz es tan hermosa, tan llena de matices, tan compleja y a la vez tan pura. Es increible. Adoro a esta mujer. En cuanto a la canción, debo reconocer que me ha costado cogerle el punto, quiza por la estructura, quizá por ese interludio tan ¿caotico?, no lo se, pero no me terminaba de convencer a las primeras de cambio. Curiosamente, tenía ganas de volver a escuchar el tema más veces, poco a poco me va ganando.
This makes me wanna go back to Amsterdam! Even if my memories have been a little darkened, this makes me just wanna dance and have a great time there. Wonderful music and wonderful city!
I really love how she manages to look beautiful without any need to wear revealing clothes. Twenty-tens was really a great decade for music. Nowadays, singers (and not only female ones) just try to look as sexy as possible, hoping to get cheap likes. But with songs like this, you really see the power of 2010's music I hope its aesthetic will make a return.
I wonder what I could do when I saw Anneke running in my town with that dress! LOL. And the song!? Deym it!!! It makes me wanna wish it's already 22 April! Can't wait!!!!
Talk about an all-star lineup ;) Ed Warby , Joost van den Broek, Johanvan Stratum, Maaike Petersen, Ben Margot Timo Somers, Marcela Bovio and of course Annexe and Arjen. Damn. :) good
Anneke looks as young here as she was 15 years ago. And they're all so full of energy ! This is at least as good as I expectyed .. Going to order the album right now !
F*ing great, I knew you would be awesome together guys, but I couldn't imagine this awesome! Now you showed us all, how it is done properly ... keep it up!
Very nicely done. I like the way the melody keeps showing up in this track. But, ehm.. Is 17th century Anneke walking with her 21th century smartphone on 2.13 and 2.23?
3 years later and this still makes me smile like a child, Anneke is too precious for this world.
Anneke just captures my heart. That smile, not contrived one bit. Seems to be the same cherubic girl in those early Gathering clips but an even better singer with age!!

Thank you Arjen!Thank you Anneke!
I realize it's kind of off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream new tv shows online?
@Noah Wilder Flixportal
@Amos Ismael thanks, signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!!
@Noah Wilder you are welcome =)
Talk about an all-star lineup ;) Ed Warby, Joost van den Broek, Johan van Stratum, Maaike Peterse, Ben Mathot, Timo Somers, Marcela Bovio and of course Anneke and Arjen. Damn. :)
2:37 I'll always love that shot. The perfect moment.
50STFPAUL so true!!!
50STFPAUL 4:43 is better :)
Thanks so much! It was a combination of Anneke's awesomeness, good luck with the birds, and a few practice sessions with my Glidecam
+Lori Linstruth it´s so perfect at first i thought it was a special FX.
00:00 - 4:48 I'll always love that shot. The prefect song.
That voice is just beyond anything i have ever heard. Wooow
In this song her voice reminds me a little of Kate Bush.
Fantastic music, Anneke and Marcela is perfect together.
yes!
Everything Anneke sings turns to gold!
Todo lo que toca Arjen, es ORO! se rodea de los mejores y saca lo mejor de ellos. Saludos.
muy cierto.
Toni Diaz Completamente de acuerdo contigo. Todos los proyectos en los que participa son espectaculares. Saludos
The last section of solo reminds of Serge Prokofiev wide melody steps. Amazing!
Последняя секция соло просто потрясающая. Заставляет вспомнить Прокофьева.
Great!!! Arjen is a fantastic composer and Anneke, Marcela and the entire band are brilliant!🤟🤟👍👍
I love the voice of Anneke and Marcela's.
🎵
Watching the crowd through the window
Looking down on the streets that I love
The city's rising and growing
We are blessed to reside in this town
As I'm hearing the sounds of the harbor
Where our sailors and traders call
I imagine the way of the workers
Through the anguish they still stand tall
As I'm making my way to the centre
Morning birds in the park sing along
In all their sweet subtle splendor
Seems we all are in love with their song
And the prince, lords and emperor
Embrace the merchants' houses
In the heart of Amsterdam
(Here in the heart of Amsterdam)
Around the town hall
Proud people crowd the alley
In the heart of Amsterdam
Across the canals' tiny bridges
Where I pause to absorb city life
From the poor to the richest
Exotic foreigners passing me by
I'm in awe of the beautiful paintings
Can't believe that Rembrandt's here
As the seasons are changing
He'll immortalize all we hold dear
May we write, search and discover
May we craft, philosophize
To guide and to govern
Build our future eternal and bright
And the prince, lords and emperor
Embrace the merchants' houses
In the heart of Amsterdam
(Here in the heart of Amsterdam)
Around the town hall
Proud people crowd the alley (alley)
In the heart of Amsterdam
Strolling along down the alley
This is home, this is where I belong
Scent of fresh salted sea breeze
I'll be here till the last teardrop falls
And the prince, lords and emperor
Embrace the merchants' houses-
In the heart of Amsterdam
(Here in the heart of Amsterdam)
Around the town hall
Proud people crowd the alley (alley)
In the heart of Amsterdam
🎵
Those lucky bastards :P On a random day, taking a random walk and then... BAM!! a 17th century Anneke :3 how cool is that XD
I want that album now!!! :3
Yeah, 17th century Anneke carrying a smartphone :'3
@@asifmahbub5626 HAHAHAHA yes at 2:11
That chorus! 😭😭😭 Absolutely gorgeous. I sometimes listen to the song on repeat just to hear it.
I love this song even in 2019.Only now i think is so underrated.
why would the date have anything to do with it?
Yo're right
@@Sillymarin Just poking some fun ;) but I love his music regardless! The truly good music stands the test of time after all :)
Hey its Marcela Bovio doing the backing vocals!
Bump. Curious as well. Sold if it is.
Damn, look at Arjen. He's having a bloody good time and you could basically see the rockstar persona in him slowly emerging like in the old days. Too bad he's such a recluse though, and doesn't feel comfortable doing live appearances. I hope I get to see him at least once in my life. :(

What I'd give to see all of them performing on stage... You can't tell who's the best!! Congratulations to all of you, once again!
Just search TH-cam for The Gentle Storm Live ;) Lots of shows and am one of the lucky ones to have seen one (in Ittervoort). It was incredible.
Riël Notermans I did see them aswell at rock Ittervoort ;) the where great indeed
There are two great singers here, not just Anneke. Marcela is a great singer too.
I love em both
No one does this kind of music anymore, such quality
I love Annie so much!!! this kind of music really fits her
This song has been on repeat for a few hours now :P
Great song! But how could it not be with so many great artists :)
man, Ed Warby always delivering. doesn't matter what kind of rock/metal he plays he's always amazing.
What a powerful song...with so many great musicians, all from bands I love into one number...Anneke you look ravishing in the dress...having fun in Amsterdam
TIL Marcela Bovio is also in this song.... after like eight thousand listens of Gentle and Storm versions.
Como alguém pode dar "dislike" em algo lindo assim gente????
Sempre tem um pé no cu.
Pessoas sem ouvido.
tr00zões
Tulio Notari Não tem gutural nem 4 guitarristas? Então é LIXO... kkkkkkk
Não tem peitos de fora, então se decepcionaram quando disseram que tinha uma mulher cantando.
Très beau morceau et Anneke .... toujours une déesse de la musique !!!!!!!!!
Really this wonderful video Anneke , Arjen , Marcela , all is wonderful
I want to go to Amsterdam just because of this song.
Same bro, same... 😔
Have I mentioned that Anneke is my favorite singer? Cuz she is
samee
X3
Que música maravilhosa! Arranjos fenomenais e voz que dispensa comentários. The diary é sem dúvidas um dos melhores discos que já ouvir.
This could be the best metal album in 2015 ... I pray to God that they don't f**k it up ...
Arjen is some sort of god, so probably not.. :P
Metal in the loosest term
marts99 Who cares?
marts99 "Metal in the loosest term", said the melodic death metal musician, thinking that criticising other artist's genre qualification would be good publicity for his own band.
Marcin Olszański huh? I wasn't criticising ONE bit man, I love heaps of types of music just as much as metal! Only making a tongue-in-cheek remark because everything seems to be labelled metal these days, and I have zero interest in promoting my band.
Мило, весело, легко и красиво.. Захотелось посетить Амстердам :-) ну и снова послушать The Gathering
Seriously, this is the best. So much fun and so much talent. I can't get enough.
While rural areas are nicer than cities, the more I learn about Amsterdam, the more it does sound like a lovely place.
"A traveler in time wonders through the streets of Amsterdan.... while the music from the band in another dimension plays, until that sound have reached her ears, then the maiden dances with her haert, as well as the soul starts to sings..."
2021 and I love this more now than I used to in 2015.
Backing vocals in chorus by Marcela Bovio - shivers...
She is so lovely!
always falling in love with anneke´s voice
OMG i feel to listen this song over and over again, I can't stop to play!
OMG this song is flawless! Masterpiece of the par Lucassen/van Giersbergen and one thing more, Annie if you had lived in the XXVII century I'm sure that you had been the most requested girl of the Netherlands, There's no man that can handle such beauty and tenderness that you express
Ο μαγικός αυλός στην εισαγωγή, με τις -για πολλοστή φορά- θεικές μουσικές κατευθύνσεις του Arjen και....τι χαμόγελο έχεις ρε Anneke, τι θετική ενέργεια περνάς άμεσα στους γύρω σου....τι φωνάρα, τι τι τι....Σας ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ!!! Τίποτ'άλλο!!!!
Anneke & Marcela on vocals + a guitar-violin duel, what a treat!
Arjen needs to stop being this good. He is making every other band seem like they're not trying hard enough.
@Ad Lockhorst well, he *did* have Simone Simons as backing vocals (mostly) in the Electric castle live :)
@Ad Lockhorst 😂
Anneke is the voice of urbanism. True love of cities is rare. We were not made for the wilderness.
Anneke is fantastic wearing that suit. One of the most wonderful videos I ever see. Clearly the heart of Amsterdam. Midas Lucassen! Congratulations!
Album (THE GENTLE STORM The diary) in my collection, vid in my favs.
Thanks.
That solo was actually complex and classy, unexpected but very tasteful
Arjen Anthony Lucassen só faz trabalho bom, é impressionante.
E ainda chama a Anneke que é uma cantora maravilhosa e versátil.
Sou fã de verdade desses dois
Anneke -талантище!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I need this project to have a new album.
Amazing music. Amazing musicians. Amazing singer(s). All amazing.
I am completely in love with this album! Everything about it is perfect! This video is my favorite from the album! Anneke is adorable in this video! So many incredible musicians together! I wish I could visit overseas and see a live show.
Arjen+Anneke+Marcela together, heaven on earth
Get Ed Warby on drums and Heaven gets over perfection
One of the best songs ever created! With perfection of musicical orchestration & vocal prowess!
one of the best songs ever written and of course... interpreted!
Noooooo!!!
I really can't wait to see most of these guys at the UK gig :D Lived for a time in Amsterdam so the places shown are very familiar!
Fun song! And, surprise, Anneke is being adorable again. :)
Anything that Anneke sings in is pretty much gold for me. Love her voice!
Anneke + Marcella = win win!
i didnt understand this at the first listening but now i am like, omg this stuff is amazing. just pure amazingness. omg omg omg
Really simple video for an amazing song. Anneke is so gorgeous and funny and I can clearly recognise Arjen's writing style. Love it!
Please god...keep her healthy and beautifull forever
Outstanding... 2 of my greatest metal idols in one musical project.. Anneke and Arjen

Love her wonderful voice & her beautiful smile, love you Anneke.
The guitar/violin solo always cracks me up. Some of the shots they get at the start of it are just plain funny to look at.
Pre order from Hong Kong AppStore,can't wait
Arjen, will u have project with floor and anneke both of them,they are my favourite vocals in Netherlands
Anneke siempre me electriza, su voz es tan hermosa, tan llena de matices, tan compleja y a la vez tan pura. Es increible. Adoro a esta mujer.

Wonderful. Awesome. My heart will always be in Amsterdam and I miss her dearly.
This makes me wanna go back to Amsterdam! Even if my memories have been a little darkened, this makes me just wanna dance and have a great time there. Wonderful music and wonderful city!
Beautiful song and city. The singer too of course. :)

Wonderful, beautiful, fantastic song full of emotions and charge!!! Well done!!!
I usually don't care about music videos but this one is so lovely, I want to watch it many times :P
Talk about an all-star lineup ;) Ed Warby , Joost van den Broek, Johanvan Stratum, Maaike Petersen, Ben Margot Timo Somers, Marcela Bovio and of course Annexe and Arjen. Damn. :) good
Melodia maravilhosa! Anneke voz maravilhosa!
Anything Arjen Lucassen does is epic. I'm very happy I found out about him and his music. The Gentle Storm is its own sound which I like.
no acaba de sorprender tanta fecundidad musical , el alma de Ayreon
very nice track, I'm really intrigued for listen the full album!!! :o
arjen, sei un maledetto Genio!!!
anneke mitica sorridente sempre unica! number one
Hail to Holand! Wonderfull Voices, great musics and great musicians!
Marcos Veloso - São Bernardo do Campo - SP - Brasil
Anneke looks as young here as she was 15 years ago. And they're all so full of energy ! This is at least as good as I expectyed .. Going to order the album right now !
I actually can't stop listening to this now :P Album ordered ^^
Heart Of Amsterdam | |
o lindo
Cualquier colaboración entre Arjen y Anneke es perfecta
This is an everyday necessity for me. such perfection ah the feels
A fresh and fabulous musical project with all the creative elements that I like and artists that I LOVE! Really PERFECT! :)
Amazing ! Can't wait to have my Album
Incrível. Lindo demais. Cada projeto novo que surge é mais bizarro que o anterior...
Anneke and Floor Jansen always smiling today. Amorphis and Nightwish power band and everybody smile.I love
F*ing great, I knew you would be awesome together guys, but I couldn't imagine this awesome! Now you showed us all, how it is done properly ... keep it up!
Anneke is so adorable
Questo pezzo insieme ad altre canzoni dei The Gentle Storm sono diventate la mia droga da una settimana! e Anneke è la migliore del mondo!!!
Ciao, Voce meravigliosa. Prova ad ascoltare Annie Haslam dei Renaissance, è molto simile. Spero di essere stato utile.
Very nicely done. I like the way the melody keeps showing up in this track.
But, ehm.. Is 17th century Anneke walking with her 21th century smartphone on 2.13 and 2.23?
No worries, all is part of the concept :D
It's supposed to be a joke, funny. :D
Wim Dees All the video is about a 17th Century Anneke walking across a 21th Century city... Its a funny video.
