      @@jamesbuchanan4414 it is and this isn't the first piece that rap and some other genre collabed either, what gets me is why this song did not hit top charts back in 2014. I was born in 1992 and WT debuted when I was 4 in 1996 which kinda upsets me because I never heard of them much less I just came across WT and Amaranthe back in 2015-2016 from youtube recommending them from one of Dead By April's songs one random day on the way to work. All in all, this is what good music should be strong lyrics+ fluid melody to result a masterful experience anyone can relate to or resonate to and I have a philosophical- ish belief I made up for music as a whole. Then again music was my very first inspiration at 5 years old and just recently a year ago I was reminded what my original inspiration was at a very young age and now I'm working hard endlessly to practice everything I can while polishing off the rusts I knew about music growing up.

Love the contrast between her angelic voice and his tough and rough street voice.

      Immortal Technique. Jedi Mind Tricks, Necro, ICP, King Gordy, Twiztid, Gravediggaz, Diabolic, Supreme NTM ( split up), IAM, Wu Tang Clan are some of many great Rap artists out there. Some have great message and some are a bit more tabbo, kind of like Death Metal but in Rap form :)

  • @jasonf.9074
    @jasonf.9074 10 ปีที่แล้ว +82

    And We Run, along with Paradise, are the best songs on the album. I don't get why people say that WT became a pop rock band, just because they experimented with different genres. Metal and rap are completely different music genres and WT with Xzibit achieved to combine them perfectly in a very meaningful song.

    • @davidmatos7716
      @davidmatos7716 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      People say that because of how the songs are written overall, not because they experimented with other genres. Most if not all Within Temptation songs nowadays are "radio friendly" (maybe the gutural part in Silver Moonlight isn't), with a predictable structure, easy to listen and catchy choruses. They're still Metal, but more commercial. Anyway, I find this latest album great. But if you want to listen to a good Symphonic Metal album which doesn't sound so "pop", try the latest effort from Delain and you'll see the difference. Personally, I find them equally good.

    • @Snus83
      @Snus83 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      David Matos Yes, The Human Contradiction is amazing. Lucidity was quite good, and Delain is better with each album. Epica's The Quantum Enigma is also a fine sympho-metal ablum.
      I cannot say WT''s music is pop, but the mixing on Hydra is definitely poppish. Soft/quiet guitars, almost non-existent bass, prominent keyboards and, of course, sound dynamic range is quite small.

    • @davidmatos7716
      @davidmatos7716 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Snus I have to disagree with the "Delain is better with each album" part. Lucidity was a great debut, April Rain was a good follow up and The Human Contradiction is their best for me, but in the middle we have We Are The Others which was their weakest effort to date.

    • @Snus83
      @Snus83 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      David Matos I actually liked We are the Others and Interlude, but I agree that "Delain is better with each album" is a questionable statement.
      Anyway, here we are, discussing Delain's albums in WT thread. Which makes me wonder how important Martijn Westerholt was to the band.

    • @sonicnator
      @sonicnator 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      David Matos I would argue that a lot of Within Temptation's work was like that(excluding Enter). Since Mother Earth, they have made music that suits the genre excellently while still making it very accessible to everyone. Songs like Ice Queen, Never Ending Story, and Stand My Ground are good examples of this. Nothing has really changed much aside from their desire for branching out.

  • @cambridgeport90

    Why do so many complain about the mix between Metal and Rap? It sounds awesome and why can´t Metal bands use rap in their songs? Metal has so many genres and so many different bands. The band Hed P.E. use metal and rap for their music. The Nu-Metal band Linkin Park do it too. Their are more bands like them who already did that, so what's the fu***** problem?

      Sort of agree, and it is only 1 song out of a cornucopia of brilliant music by WT. Other bands like Linkin Park seem to fit (c)rap more easily… imho most rap is just childish attitude with stupid gestures and really boring music coupled with a serious lack of talent and yes, I have seen loads of it to try to embrace it - no way

    And We Run (feat. Xzibit)
    It burns into your heart the darkness that you fear
    You were never free and you never realized
    And love is a word you never heard
    Your heart ain't cold, 'cause it burns
    A desire to leave the mire
    Take your breath 'till nothing's left
    Scars of life upon your chest
    And I know wherever it goes
    And we run, with a lonely hearts
    And we run, for this killing love
    And we run, 'till the heavens above
    Yeah we run, running in the dark
    And we run, 'till we fall apart
    And we run, 'till the heavens above
    Don't blink, you'll miss it
    Lift up your head
    We gotta get gone
    Yeah, we outta here
    Don't blink, you'll miss it
    Lift up your head
    Too late, we gone
    Yeah, we outta here
    And we run, with a lonely heart
    And we run, for this killing love
    And we long for a heavenly heart
    I'ma break these chains, run thru the rain
    Never look back, never quit, work thru the pain
    This blood in my veins runs cold
    When I think I'll never be the same, but I never lose hope
    This is my time now, no time for tears
    Celebrate, put it in the air right now
    Never back down
    You could never wear my crown 'cause it weighs too much
    And I crush every mothafuckin thing I touch
    This is love, I've never loved so much
    Get involved, make the world stand up
    Give my life before I ever give up
    Name in lights, you lost all my trust
    Now it's time to face all of us
    Get in line 'cause they're calling us
    And it feels so marvelous
    Just take my hand and run
    And we run, with a lonely hearts
    And we run, for this killing love
    And we run, 'till the heavens above
    Yeah we run, running in the dark
    And we run, 'till we fall apart
    And we run, 'till the heavens above
    Don't blink, you'll miss it
    Lift up your head
    We gotta get gone
    Yeah, we outta here
    Don't blink, you'll miss it
    Lift up your head
    Too late, we gone
    Yeah, we outta here
    And we run, with a lonely heart
    And we run, for this killing love
    And we long for a heavenly heart
    Don't blink, you'll miss it

    E Corremos (part. Xzibit)
    A escuridão que você teme queima em seu coração
    Você nunca foi livre e você nunca percebeu
    E o amor é uma palavra que você nunca ouviu
    Seu coração não é frio, porque queima
    O desejo de sair da lama
    Respire até não sobrar mais nada
    Cicatrizes de vida sobre o seu peito
    E eu sei aonde quer que vá
    E corremos com um coração solitário
    E corremos para este amor mortal
    E corremos até o paraíso acima
    E corremos, corremos no escuro
    E corremos até desmoronarmos
    E corremos até o paraíso
    Não pisque ou você vai perder
    Levante sua cabeça
    Temos que ir embora
    Sim, sair daqui
    Não pisque ou você vai perder
    Levante sua cabeça
    Tarde demais, nós já fomos embora
    Sim, sair daqui
    E corremos com um coração solitário
    E corremos para este amor mortal
    E ansiamos por um coração celestial
    Eu vou quebrar essas correntes, correr pela chuva
    Nunca olhar para trás, nunca desistir, superar a dor
    Este sangue nas minhas veias corre frio
    Quando eu penso que nunca mais serei o mesmo, mas eu nunca perco a esperança
    É a minha hora agora, não há tempo para lágrimas
    Celebre, lance-o no ar agora
    Nunca desista
    Você nunca poderia usar a minha coroa porque pesa muito
    E eu destruo tudo que toco
    Isto é amor, nunca amei tanto
    Envolva-se, faça o mundo levantar
    Dar minha vida, antes de desistir
    Famosão, você perdeu toda a minha confiança
    Agora é hora de enfrentar todos nós
    Entre na fila pois estão nos chamando
    E é tão maravilhoso
    Apenas pegue minha mão e corra
    E corremos com um coração solitário
    E corremos por este amor mortal
    E corremos até o paraíso acima
    E corremos, e corremos no escuro
    E corremos até desmoronarmos
    E corremos para o paraíso
    Não pisque ou você vai perder
    Levante sua cabeça
    Temos que ir embora
    Sim, sair daqui
    Não pisque ou você vai perder
    Levante sua cabeça
    Tarde demais, nós já fomos embora
    Sim, sair daqui
    E corremos com um coração solitário
    E corremos por este amor mortal
    E ansiamos por um coração celestial
    Não pisque ou você vai perder
    Levante sua cabeça
    Temos que ir embora
    Sim, sair daqui
    Não pisque ou você vai perder
    Levante sua cabeça
    Tarde demais, nós já fomos embora
    Sim, sair daqui

    I don't know who wrote the video but it hits home. It's been over 40 years since I learned to walk again. Thanks. It means a lot to me.

    This song is so empowering to me, I love it so so much. For me it is one of the best WT songs out there, right behind "All I need" and "Swan Song" which is weird sing neither of the others is that empowering but soothing and calm.
    Keep your powerful work!

    Oh my good! It takes a LOT of TALENT to bring two very different artists together and make them sound good together! It's safe to say. That's why Within Temptation is the pinnacle of metal music!

      Yeah, that is why Sharon and Robert picked and reached out to Xzibit specificly for it for this

      His deep voice offsets Sharon del Aden's soaring vocals so well, it's like he was made for this song.

    I wonder what Xzibit's reaction was when they contacted him to make a guest appearance. and did he pimp their ride

    • @DarthScorpio11
      @DarthScorpio11 10 ปีที่แล้ว +417

      He talked about that in an interview. Basically, he has no idea who Within Temptation was, but some of the band members thought it would be cool to do a track with him. He looked up their music and was shocked that they would contact him, being a metal band and all. However, he liked their stuff, and agreed to collaborate, leading to this awesome song

      DarthScorpio11 gotta admit, that pretty cool as I enjoy both their music.

      Yeah, some people in the metal community are super close minded and some are just downright racist. It's too bad.

    • @darkservantofheaven
      @darkservantofheaven 10 ปีที่แล้ว +87

      DarthScorpio11 tell me about it. I had a roomate for a time who was very close minded about it. He was a metal head and he would get angry at the presence of rap anywhere, especially when they act in a movie.
      He got mad when he saw Tupac Shakur in a movie. when I explaiend to him that before pac was a rapper, he was a student at a performance art school and had taken classical acting courses as well as 3 musical instruments (bass, guitar and piano).
      "well fuck you! Im a metalhead" with extreme bias. I even said that there are likely performers in the metal and Rock genre who enjoy some rap, he called them sell outs.
      and the fucked up thing about it is...my roomate was black.
      I am gonna sound bias, but I swear rap gets shitted on the most by detracters. I know poeple that say "Rap degrades women" I am pretty sure that there are some rock or metal songs that do as well....I mean alot of rock songs from the 1980s showed strippers just as much as a rap video from the 1990s. "rap is full of violent and evil content..." and black metal/death metal doesnt?" "rap is not music because they do not actually sing...." So the growling and shreking in death metal qualifies as singing?
      and dont get me wrong, I like some metal and allot of rock, but come on to say one genre is a more legit source of entertaintment music is just plain ignorant.
      oh and heres my favorite one from the detracters, I hear this one from teenage boys mosty... "rap doesnt have the guitar and what kind of music doesnt include the guitar?"....um, classical, opera, jazz, swing, big band?
      I'm sure that not all metal fans are racist (well the ones into National Socialist Black Metal certainly are...) but I do think that there is a bit of an us vs them mentality...when one genre becomes more prominent in the media, the fans really have to over compensate by closing the doors and being angry about it.
      on the other end of the spectrum. where you have metalhead who hate and dispise rap/R&B...your average fan of Rap or R&B is unaware of most metal bands. In my experience, once introduced they start to like it. Its hard to introduce a quality rap song or group or artist to a your average metal head.
      but this all based on my personal experience.

    Still listening in 2023!
    No band comes close to WT when it comes to symphonic metal, and then to add the element of rap in just takes it to a whole new genre.
    It’s incredibly written.
