@@radrums7362 You never cry even a little bit when you're deeply immersed into a beautiful music? Nothing to do with being gay. It's higher emotions that make you different from other animals. Unless you are emotionally disabled.
I love this song so much, my husband and I considered it for our wedding dance but we couldn't pick it in the end because of its sad lyrics. We danced to Nightwish's Sleeping sun instead..
Seeing Epica in 2010 live at the Hollywood House Of Blues was just EPIC!!! It was amazing. I still remember that performance. The whole band is fantastic. Simone as beautiful and angelic as ever :)
What a brilliant recovery at 4.04! If she hadn't glanced back at Coen we (non-Dutch) would never have noticed. Sign of a true Pro that and after it she didnt allow it to throw her but finished beautifully (although the start was dodgy - owing to Coen's inability to locate those white and black bits again !!). But overall - I prefer the PinkPop electric version which was phenomenal. This has to be the TOUGHEST SONG for Simone to perform live by a long chalk, and its even tougher acoustically.
That's what I thought :S She looks like she's struggling a bit too. I've read a few comments on youtube saying that her voice isn't what it used to be... I hope it's just a brief phrase. I love Epica and Simone, I really hope their music can reach further across the globe. I live in Australia and a HUGE fan of Epica but it sucks that they do not have enough fans here to perform. I wanna move to Europe. >
A truly great song from a great band and unbelievably talented singer! I would love to hear Carly Rose Sonenclar from America's The X Factor - USA sing this song. I believe she is the only one left on the show who can sing it. Please go to The X Factor and Tweet Carly Rose. Ask her to think about singing this song. It would win her the competition and give Epica some much needed American airtime.
@ThePoetsWolf09 Yes, they are in the band haha! Isaac Delahaye is the one on guitar, and Coen Janssen is the one on keyboards. Look at their "names" in your booklet. :P And YES! I agree with you 100% =D
For some one who was not well at the time -I think she did bloody fantastic - and so exposed here without full band backing. To deliver like this when clearly under the weather is sign of a true pro. As for the bloody metzo/soprano debate, what does it matter -she spans a range that overlaps both registers, So what - it's just a bloody label. Of course the classical brigade get all het up about it because in that genre it's all about over-analysis, bloody labels and ciriticising the competition!
amo a banda Epica, adoro as composiçoes e o jeito como o Mark orquestra o som da banda, essa musica: tides of time é linda letra e melodia, mas convenhamos que essa versão ficou extremamente diferente a simone desafina e no finalsinho erra feio e tem que volta é como muitos dizem a simone morre no palco ao ivo ela manda mal pacas.
There are a couple of performances at PinkPop which reveal she is a bit off colour but this is not one of them. If this is how she sings when she's feeling a bit dodgy - doesn't leave much hope for other vocalists does it? It's Coen that fluffs a few notes particulraly in that intro (and he knows it!)!
@ThePoetsWolf09 Yes hahaha! I have their entire discography on my iPod (all purchased LEGALLY). And it was actually their remix of the 'Spider Man' main theme that I heard of them (off The Classical Conspiracy). :) All you can do after you discover them is wonder WHY you hadn't sooner! At least thats how it was for me! (^_^)
@BlackDarkHeart i didnt know she was ill. I was starting to believe that she doesnt always prepare herself for singing opera. too bad that the 2 good quality concerts from the DYU tour (in milwaukee and Pinkpop) she was ill of her voice so she dindt sound opera
Oh come now. Only the first note of the verses is significantly off. It's not an easy jump to do, and when your voice is off due to ilness it's virtually impossible to get it right. I think it's awesome she still manages to get those high notes out.
She again sings it in her unique way, feeling the song and enjoying the meaning. But Simone, I think you should focus on the clarity of the tones as first - this is the most important thing, because some tones were slightly lower than supposed to be and I could hear it and it just distracts the enjoyment of the listener. But otherwise, Simone rocks!!! I love her!
Kateřina Černoušková you are critiquing Simone?? lol this is old now. so thats kinda silly. this is clearly not an easy song to sing and it might not be her best work but she still an incredible vocalist. she has also grown in the past several years as an artist. I saw them last year and she's incredible live. In fact better than ever. check out their new stuff if u havent!
tal vez Simone no estaba muy inspirada por esa canta tan grave por que en un concierto en Amsterdan canta idéntico a la versión del álbum. De igual manera las metáforas de esta canción son hermosas.
I thought she sang it really well.Of course it's not going to sound as good as it did on the cd.It does not matter that she is interested in fashion,many women & some men are very interested in fashion.It does not make them lesser people.She is allowed other interests other than music.
I think she was a little nervous. But search for a video where she sings the song "Memory", it is one of her best performances. I guess I can understand a little why she gets so nervous during concerts... she is a beautiful girl, so everyone expects her to be perfect (perfect looks, perfect voice, perfect behavior etc). This kind of pressure can be very annoying.
If this song doesn't touch your heart, then you truly don't have one.
Truly
The most beautiful woman in the whole world singing her most beautiful song ever. I cried.
Ew

I LOVE Simone, but come on guys; don't forget about the amazing band that backs her! That's how the glory comes through as a whole! :) EPICA FOREVER!!
How can Isaac sit beside her watch her sing like that and not fall in love with her
He must secretly love her, there is no other way XD
I was thinking the same...hahaha
I bet they all are in love.
13 year later and im still in love of Simone 😍so perfect
I love when she improvises. No fear, my dear !
Such an incredible voice, and she's got to be one of the more gorgeous women on this planet.
The songwriter is awesome.. What a marvelous song!
She wrote the song.
I return periodically to this specific performance because........ ❤
This is one of the best Epica songs an she sounds perfect here!
She's so beautiful and so sweet :)
Que voz ♥
I love this song so much, my husband and I considered it for our wedding dance but we couldn't pick it in the end because of its sad lyrics. We danced to Nightwish's Sleeping sun instead..
Well,yes.its a beautiful song singing about death and the frailty of life ; it's not very fitting for a marriage !
I love you Simone!!!! I just...... love YOU!!!!
the most beatiful woman
2:37 ...
Don't lose sight, don't deny
We are leaves meant to fall
There's a meaning to all our
the most beautiful woman on earth.. love her so much. she's amazing.
Great voice from one of the most beautiful face in the universe...
This song makes me cry a lot!

She is the most adorable person on the planet ... I want to be like her and I don't say that often!!
amazing how much beauty can be delivered by just a voice... so many strings touched inside... this song can break you any time :)
Hermosa!
Love her hair!
:D
Love her voice, her music, her!
Awesome 😍
WOW! she's amazing!! her voice is like an angel singing ♥
me encanta!!!
прекрасное исполнение!!
Suena genial !!!
espetacular voz ............ perfeita
They are all amazing
Música perfeita amo 😍😍😍😍

Tremendo el piano!
Mesmerizing, lovely voice :)
Simply epic.
Perfeição da Nature
BEAUTIFUL AMAZING LOVE SS
LOVE this band. Still sad they didn't play it when I saw them last November :(. Hopefully next time.
I love Isaac!! so cute!!
one of the singers that gets away with being flat, as true beauty is the minute miss to apparent perfection
a música da minha vida
Coen...love you!!
I actually love how her singing is not perfect in this. Really brings the human-emotional element to the song.
Me too. Pitch correction turns singers into machines.
i love simoneso much !!!
that look on his face 3:13 ,, no one sings like this, no one can, no one still do

mi noviiaaa
exelente!!!!!!!!!
Linda performance como sempre. Quem não gostou é simples, vai lá e faz melhor.
Não precisa ser melhor para expressar uma opinião ... ex : Se você não gostou de um filme você não precisa fazer melhor pra opinar
Guide is through what we knew would come all along 🤘
enlightening ..
:-D she did amazing. I love her voice! You think u can sing it better have at it, she got it!
Her eyes are like heavens door
That's what I thought :S

i still dont understand all the fuzz with adele music when the world has simone epicness
simone I LOVE YOU
Simone simons la voz más linda del mundo 💋❤🥰😘✌🇨🇱
I was atheist til i found Simone now i know there is a God out there shes amazing :)
As i sayed, "in my opinion", but i agreed that any member of the band is iportant, in fact, i like Epica, the band, your totality. ;)
It's the 'driving mankind forwards' I'm slightly worried about in view of your previous reply. The mind boggles

Simone is a very talented singer
SE EQUIVOCOOO =P E IGUAL TE AMAMOS MI REINA JEJE
Check out wikipedia's article on "acoustic music".
Granted the word "primarily" in that article leaves room for interpret.
I've the feeling they we're hell of a nervous bunch right there :D

😍
@CorinkaTeja you're right singing is faulse but I think we can forget it this time (:
Mark Jansen writes most of the band's music, and actually founded the band. If there is a single member of the band that is its "soul", it's him.
Yep, but he's not the only member, who do this. As for "tides of time" - wikipedia states that lyrics are by Simone and music is written by Coen.
There are a couple of performances at PinkPop which reveal she is a bit off colour but this is not one of them. If this is how she sings when she's feeling a bit dodgy - doesn't leave much hope for other vocalists does it?
It's Coen that fluffs a few notes particulraly in that intro (and he knows it!)!
Agreed, but in my opinion, Simone is the soul of epica

I find it very funny how she speaks her language with all her buddies before song... Then the song begins and it's in English.
@gotiker la tecnica de bell cantO ! es asi un poco! no es que forze la voz sus agudos son muy tecnicos! con mucho estilo clasico! :) saludos..
@BlackDarkHeart i didnt know she was ill. I was starting to believe that she doesnt always prepare herself for singing opera. too bad that the 2 good quality concerts from the DYU tour (in milwaukee and Pinkpop) she was ill of her voice so she dindt sound opera

@Lindasacola If you watch Unleashed you'll see that she's taking a pill.

i was at their concert and it was amazing, your words are true! :)
Could you explain please - for those of us with a more sheltered uprbringing - thanks ?
I didn't notice a mistake in the end, really. She was a little flat starting off though. But it's fine, such a beautiful song!
@Salvationschild she has a wonderful voice ... would be the only explication!!!
@defyferris Why not the mic rod? :D

@MsTarjista I think she was sick
She made a mistake at the end...she got lost...well, she was out of tune a few times but it is a difficult song...great job anyway!
I adore Simone for this. Her "goofyness", cute mistakes and her singing on metal stage make so amazing contrast, I have no words.
what is the link ? o.O
fuck the haters, Simone rules. Period.
Sometimes i think i'd like to hit Simons's haters' faces. Wtf guys she gives me chills!
