I was listening to this a long time ago, when I was meeting the love of my life. So many lyrics back then told me the ending of our story. And years passed by but heart never forgets what was really true. Some things cannot be faked.
Because this music actually makes you feel some of the pain Sharon den Adel felt when she had a miscarriage, which is why this song exists. So beautiful, yet so tragic.
this song hurts a lot, especially when you've been someone with severe depression and had suicidal thoughts before. It makes you wonder about all the people who passed you by, and which ones weren't as fortunate to make it through. Even if i I still have mental health problems, I cant help but feel I need to keep going, there's so many people who don't get that chance, their emotions take them too soon and it isn't even their fault....
i feel that far too keenly. its one of the major reasons i havnt done more then minor self harm. dont want to hurt her. and yes, i'm getting help. but its a very slow process.
To any other suicide orphans out there, you aren't alone. This has been the hardest anniversary yet. At 21 I still needed a mother, 15 years later I still do. Figuring out life on your own with no one to turn to for advice really. I don't blame her though. She suffered a lot of abuse and had a spouse die of suicide in her arms. I think she saw me as stronger than her and didn't want to be a burden on me.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom one year ago today 😢. She was 87. She had a long life but it was still very hard to say goodbye. Peace to you my friend.
I am a grown man, with a beautiful, wonderul wife and the best son I could ever imagine, but everytime I listen to this song, I started to cry. When I think about my little babyboy or his mother, that anything could go wrong and they could've gone, I just can't handle it. Everytime my throat is stuck and I can't sing a word. What an emotional song it is... I can't imagine someone could wrote something that would be more emotional.
"oh for so long, I´ve tried to shield you from the world" if that can be possible. You are always in my heart my dearest son. te adoro con el corazón, mamá.
I have lost so much, I m sick and my life is been soo hard. This song give me power but the same time I start crying. Sometimes I feel my life is end. Every fuckin day my body is pain but this song is something what give me reason go out and see my friends. This is the best song ever what I have find here.
@@History_and_Coffee13 Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm a "part-time" poet. I wrote many poems for her during our 30+ years together and some more since her death. I have a manuscript comprised of 66 poems spread out over 8 chapters. I'm planning to self-publish it soon through Amazon. The title: We Met Along the Road, One Day
This song is great, but it only truly becomes memorable when you understand that the lyrics imply more than just betrayal; the singer (not Sharon, the fictional person the song is about) forgives a person they love for //dying//. The lyrics "Why not me before you, why did fate deceive me?" proves this. What's cool is that this is so emotional like that, and this is only the promotional song for the album XD
I always feel that it's the story of a mother who's son/daughter committed suicide. *"Couldn't save you from the start" & "I tried to shield you from the world"* (Stating her protectiveness and that she was there since the beginning). *"You couldn't face the freedom on your own"* (He/she was grown up and alone in the real world and couldn't withstand it). *"You gave up the fight, you left me behind" & "You were looking for the great escape to chase you demons away"* (It's telling us what happened and that she understands why). *"You'll always be mine, I know deep inside"* (Is a way of self-consolation). These line are repeated on various occasions, is like she's trying to convince herself and move one, but she just can't. *"Can you forgive me for trying again" & "Your silence makes me hold my breath" & "Still the sun can't warm my face"*. She says that she knows why he/she did it and that she forgives, but she doesn't completely as she keeps repeating that he/she left her behind and left her in silence (alone). She just can't move on and is looking for a way to do it.. The song is both beautiful and heartbreaking. It is truly one of my favorites and a masterpiece!!
The parent child makes since, but for me, by the time I was a teen I tried to protect my mom from people who would hurt and take advantage of her. She started suffering from psychosis when I was about 13, or at least that's when I started noticing. It was just me and her so I became the parent.
This ... I remember when I came out recently someone reminded of the greatness of Within Temptation. Then I heard this on Facebook and had to relive.... Its incredible, what I was going through, the way I though, and everything that's happened from there to now. I even believe this is the exact vid I shared with the girl I was currently with back when this vid came out... Thank you to the band, and the person who posted this, for being such a part of my life
sally fox really? That's great!! Cuz i love that one too! :D I love also pale, i always imagine these two songs are talking about a whole story! And i love their other classic songs as memories, angel, Aquarius,etc. how about you? :D
swel len I used to like the Howling and the swan song, though it's been ages since I properly listened to them, and I can't really remember many of the song titles lol
How does this song have any dislikes? This song is such a meaningful song. Not like all the other songs today. Love this song so much! Its a good tune, and it a beautiful song :D Reminds me of a lot of there other songs by them. Such great songs This song means something to a lot of people. All the instruments in this song go great with it. Literally one of the best songs I have ever heard in my life. :)
The good and the bad are what make up life. The world would be a horrible place if there was only yang, and no yin. If there was nothing but joy, we wouldn’t work for change. The good is, well, good, but there needs to be bad to show who we are.
i think all of within temptation songs are beautiful and the lead singers voice is just beautiful and sends shivers down my spine and its sad how they are not as big as i think they should be... love it
This song is just so beautiful, and so meaningful. i love to sing and play it on my harp, it is so sooting :D. I think the melody at the start fits just so beautifully on a harp, even if the original instrumentation is also amazing. I so love this band :)
This is song is about someone dear to her committing suicide. "Tried to save you" "time has passed you by" "your silence" "you were looking for the great escape to chase your demons away" "why not me before you?" "You gave up the fight".
sjvermazen Or someone who passed and gave up the fight to live . Cancer etc Left me behind gave up the fight . Why not me before you . Could mean death in general.
Por que será que as menos conhecidas são as mais belas músicas? Essa música me traz um sentimento tão nostálgico de amores do passado que quase ma faz chorar.
The easiest way to search for a song is to remember the chorus of the song and type it into the TH-cam search box, than click on two or three videos until you find the right one.
i really love how they sound... the music and lyrics are awesome. and the voice of Sharon is amazing...love her and the band of course: Within Temptation saw and heard them first during friendster era hahaha...seriously i Luuuve a couple of their songs
i listened to this as a broken, neglected 13 year old. im 25 now. periodically i think of this song and can never remember any aspect of it, days or weeks go by. this is at least the third time now. i was talking to myself in solitude and unintentionally spoke a lyric of this song "for so long ive tried to...." and my train of thought disappeared and the lyrics came flooding in. ah, there it is, once again
This song was and will always be the song for my main character in my fantasy novel I'm writing for over ten years now. Hearing that song makes the pics rise up in my mind and I know exactly how I would do it in a movie. 🤣 Just the song and the scenes of that special moment. Jeah ... I should finish writing.
I would do the same, but I don't think I'm going to finish my novel. (I've been writing for two years at this point, and am stuck at the 320 page mark)
Can be a song to our Lord and savior and can be a song for the love little ones u lost either a daughter or son or pet or husband. Cried to this from many loses I've had and our lord n savior!😎🤓😇😭🥺
this song is absolutely gorgeous. it makes me think of things i've done and such. it's dedicated to myself in a way. i don't know why i think of it that way, but i do. anyway, i love it. thanks for putting it upp. =] ♥
This is a very special song. It's a song to dedicate to your soulmate, to the only one person you ever loved with all your being, and who loved you back; a song to cry as you remember the greatest love you've ever known, that kind of love that just comes to you once in a lifetime and stays with you forever
Man, this hurts so much. It is so beautiful and so real for me. Miss you so much my brother. Hope you can forgive me for not being there when you needed me.
You give up the fight you left me behind, all the stands forgiven. You'll always be mine I know deep inside, all the stands forgiven. ... Nice song..I love hearing it every night.
This is a beautiful song. But part of the lyrics are written wrong, I have the album this song is from. The album is called (the heart of everything) so in the lyrics above were is says, "all that stands forgiven" Sharon the singer is actually saying, "all that's done's forgiven". I know is doesn't sound like it but as I have said I looked it up.
One of the saddest and most heartbreaking songs!! Touches you to the very core!!
This is one of the songs you should be happy if you never have to realise the true meaning of the lyrics.
There couldn't be a song that more clearly depicts my mothers suicide. It helped me finally come to terms with it.
She wrote it for a friend that lost his son.
I was listening to this a long time ago, when I was meeting the love of my life. So many lyrics back then told me the ending of our story. And years passed by but heart never forgets what was really true. Some things cannot be faked.
The other being 'Say my name' :D
@@alexhulea2735 And Memories, and Our Farewell.
Beautiful song. Why can't "popular" music be more like this?

Because not that many appreciate true art. They want it cheap and easy. No pain.

I wonder how she can sing without crying... Evertime I tried to sing it I started crying so hard that I felt on my knees...
Lots of practice
probably the same way she sings "Say my name", a song about someone with Alzheimer not recognizing their spouse :)
x2
I remember her breaking down performing this live, it might still be on here
I am a grown man, with a beautiful, wonderul wife and the best son I could ever imagine, but everytime I listen to this song, I started to cry.

Her vocals is so beautiful, when she hits the high notes it gave me chills🥰🥰🥰🥰 it's so hard to finish the song without crying.
This song wrenches my heart, as it reminds me of my little brother whom I lost... :(
Sorry for your loss hopefully he’s in a better place
"oh for so long, I´ve tried to shield you from the world" if that can be possible. You are always in my heart my dearest son. te adoro con el corazón, mamá.

Im so sorry for you, are you doing better nowadays?
Sharon never fails with her music.
This song makes me want to keep going so I don't hurt the ones I love.
« Why not me before you? » Always hits hard
I lost my wife, lover and soul mate to suicide in 2007. I've come to totally accept her reasons for doing so, but this song touches my heart.
That's so sad 😧
I was born in 2007.😋
I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray you will find comfort, and the strength you need. God bless.

Came across this today as a suggestion on my app after listening to evanescence, how did this band pass me by? Love it.
i swear this song is impossible to listen to without crying.
This song makes me cry and think of my mum, gone far too soon, i still need her😢
tears automatically flood my eyes when i listen to this...cant describe the commotion in my heart.
Makes me cry..... So bad.... Touches souls... 💔😓This is beyond beautiful.....💜
This song is great, but it only truly becomes memorable when you understand that the lyrics imply more than just betrayal; the singer (not Sharon, the fictional person the song is about) forgives a person they love for //dying//.

It might have been suicide : ) makes more sense that way.

Quinn Alexander I didn’t even think about betrayal, this just reminds me of a loved one who commited suicide
who is listening in 2019, where y'all at? love this song
I am right now
Listen this song and just relax think, think about a lot of things
Me too and it always makes me feel emotional even though ive heard it sooo many times, the piano, her voice, the violins, just amazing
This would make an excellent anna and Elsa fan vid for frozen films
2020
Voice like an Angel
Definitely angelic voice
Yo! Sure she is angelic.
as soon as the piano starts i start crying damn you within temptaion

Within Temptation has made me shed a tear at several occasions. So much feeling and so beautiful.

Will always be my favorite song from her
Why can't music still be like this? 😭
This is a beautiful song. But part of the lyrics are written wrong, I have the album this song is from. The album is called (the heart of everything) so in the lyrics above were is says, "all that stands forgiven" Sharon the singer is actually saying, "all that's done's forgiven". I know is doesn't sound like it but as I have said I looked it up.
Having read what you wrote I listened with that in mind and yes You are right " All that's done's forgiven " !
this is beautifull :')
she got the voice of an angel i rly like this song even tho im a boy and aint in this music that much but this song touches me
A GREAT SONG !!! AMAZING !!
Beautiful song!!!
