  • ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN - Agape (LYRIC VIDEO)
    From Anneke’s forthcoming album "The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest".
    Pre-order the album now at annekevangiers... - out February 26, 2021.
    Music and words by Anneke van Giersbergen
    Directed by David Hazeleger
    There’s a distinct echo of a love song from the ‘70s about Agape’s meditative guitar arrangement. The lush sound of a string quartet adds a dreamy quality to the song. Agape refers to the highest form of unconditional love, the type of love we all yearn for.
    Lyrics: Agape
    And if I sit beside you and if I wait
    And if I wander off into this state
    Would I be fine and could I call you mine
    And have you near for a thousand years
    If I wake up beside you and touch your smile
    The world would disappear for a while
    We’d hide in space or any other place
    Immortal souls will always find their way
    The darkest skies are the brightest
    In the shadows of our eyes there’s a star
    The darkest skies are the brightest
    In every chance we long to take
    Lies a radiant golden shimmering luminous star
    And if I sit beside you and if I say
    We will move heaven and earth to find a way
    Would you pull me under
    Have me wonder
    Why in the world are we so many cities apart
    And why in the world is it so diabolically hard

I have professional help, friends, some family... And our first son who's 13, he is the reason why I'm battling this fight, I want to continue raising him the way my wife wanted. I guess it'll just take time until I fully accept what happened, and let them free. I know they want me happy. We were together for 18 years, best friends not only lovers.

    I've considered her my favourite female vocalist for years. Alas, no recording I've heard does justice to what she sounds like live. I've seen her twice on a small solo tour. Just her and her guitar at a small simple venue. Just thinking about it gives me shivers years later. I've never heard anything like that before or since.

    I've listened to so much Anneke has done, from the Gentle Storm, to Vuur, and her independent work. Including her work with the Icelandic group árstíðir (if you like this song, you will love the árstíðir collaboration). I eventually managed to see her live, not an easy thing when you live in Canada and she doesn't! - But much as I enjoy artists like Tarja, and Floor, I can't help thinking that Anneke has something even more special. One of the most versatile artists around, and amazingly friendly to meet in person (either at a VIP session, or waving at her in the street outside a venue!). I think today is a good day to pre-order the album! Thank you for this awesome stuff in these crazy Covid times!!!

    Hilversum (Dutch TV and radio broadcasting) ignored for decades terrific female front singers like Anneke van Giersbergen, Charlotte Wessels, Simone Simons, Sharon den Adel, Dianne van Giersbergen, Floor and Irene Jansen, and so on, in the Netherlands because of the metal image they have. Such a shame !, listening to also this beautiful performance from Anneke, these versatile ladies can do anything in the music world.
