Sophiex Dark yeah... that happens allot ... just stupid fans that think that just cuz they like a band that band is better than the others... it happens with; matallica and megadeath ozzy and alice cooper marilyn manson and rob zombie evanescence, epica and nigtwish linkin park and limp bizkit at this point i just realized that ppl is violent and they always want to fight for something .... even about bands (the most stupid reason to fight for XD) (cuz at the end we all like the competition we all know that every metallica fan likes megadeath XD)
@@dfreeman13 me too, I've loved both bands for years now... Both bands are unique, can't imagine hating the one over the other. Not to mention that Epica started because of Nightwish - Simone got inspired by Tarja back in the day.
Can we just talk about the lyrics?! Before I saw the video, lyrics made me think about depression bc those who know will understand how detached from reality you can get and how depersonalization is really a thing and it makes you completely lose track of anything you ever loved/enjoyed and that's the leash, your cage, not even being the shadow of what you used to be. No inspiration, no consciousness, not knowing if you'll ever exist again as the song says "I can't hold on for any longer"
I didn't think of that interpretation. Which, I guess, is a beautiful thing. How we can interpret things differently. For me, because I've experienced family members with Alzheimers, for me, that was how I took the songs meaning, but I'm going to listen to the song, keeping in mind what you wrote, because it opens new meanings, and I appreciate that. It, in a way, gives new life into art.

I watched live Epica two times, there's nothing more marvelous than them. They changed my life, my vision and my mission. I see the world through different eyes with them. With my eternal gratitude...
Once I fell asleep while listening to Epica with my earphones on and I remember suddenly waking up around 4:45. I swear it was a transcendental experience, I felt like my whole body was vulnerable to absorb the greatness of this song.
after like 7 years of gap between deeply listening to Metal and Epica, seeing your comment took me years ago when i was the same. my heart melted for that experience, it was celestial
Первый раз с этой песни познакомился. На даче настраивал интернет на телевизор, выпало это. Прослушал. Сел. Забыл вообще обо всем. Прослушал несколько раз. Насколько сложно построена музыка. Насколько великолепен вокал. Это было очень давно. А теперь это моя любимая группа!!! Вы историю творите и для меня абсолютно ЛУЧШИЕ!!! Был на Вашем концерте, совершенно незабываемое впечатление на всю жизнь в мои 46 сейчас лет!
I saw Epica last year in Brisbane Australia & was blown away. You dont really get a sense of how powerful Simone's voice really is until you see her live & the guys are amazingly tight. Just a world class band who deserve way more respect
On the one hand, it is a shame that Epica is not a household name in my country (US), but considering what has happened to music here, it is not surprising at all. You are right, they deserve way more respect.
@@jaygreenist Epica is from the Netherlands. As Floor Jansen is (nightwish) and Within Temptation and Delain! But Scandinavia is really strong, you're correct. Greetz from NL.

Oh Design Your Universe was the perfect era.We would all see that when the supposedly "poppy and easy to listen" lead single was creative,complex and dramatic as Unleashed.What a song and what a record.
Cuando la canción explota y Simone cambia a su registro totalmente lirico siento que todos los vellos de mi cuerpo se me paran csm! Es simplemente increíble, no paro de repetir esa explosión en la canción!
It's been 12 years since I discovered this song. We grow old, yet the song remains, unchanged and unwithering. For the song, time really is just a concept. It's only now that I have read the lyrics. I don't understand them fully, but I feel that in a way, I have been living them for many years.
En sólo 3 semanas me he enamorado con absolutamente todo mi ser de esta maravillosa banda y de la bellísima Simone, he encontrado mi felicidad y se llama Epica
Esta bueno pero no sienten insoportable los guturales de mark jansen en algunas canciones aunque en victims of contingency esta buena y queda bien los guturales por lo fuerte y pesada que es la cancion pero en phantom agony esta mejor la del video clip que es mas corta de duracion y no tiene gutural pero despues me encontre con la sorpresa de que era mas largo y habia guturales.
esas voces me transportan a otro nivel....ella canta divino osea es angelical y el ese contraste de ese tono de voz me encanta.....mark y simon....los amo
I doubt Epica care if people pirate their albums. It's the concerts that get the most money. And if people pirate their stuff, realize how good they are & see them live. I know I would if I had the opportunity, and I started listening through pirated versions of their albums(maybe I'll buy some one day just to use it as a decoration as epica kickass). Not everyone can afford to buy 1000 albums tbh. I have bought official merch and seen live bands that I only discovered through pirated stuff. I think epica are happy if we are fans, see them live even if we don't owe physical cds.
I know this have nothing to do with epica and with this video, but i must say Mark Jansen have pure talent to make such an chilling amazing opera passages in songs and it give me chills no matters who sing it, that ending is really amazing, i think if he continued with Floor it would be same or even more amazing, but anyway, i give this man big respect for this :)
I absolutely love this song! Epica blows me away, this is a very nicely done song! I can't even find the words to describe the epicness that I'm hearing!!!
The more I watch this the more I realise the guys body language and facial expressions are phenomenal. I feel like he might actually be a professional actor
Dear God, I have a question for you ... why is Simone Simons so beautiful? Why does he have the voice of an angel? ... or better yet, why did you send one of your angels to this earth? Simone Simons is an angel and we humans do not deserve it
I am older than the average Epica fan; I have just discovered this amazing band. But their fans are making a disservice to Epica, this is by not buying their CD's. Mark Jensen ironically complained about it in Hellfest. Come on, a CD is not that expensive. To cheat on lesser artists, it happens. But here fans need to be committed to the band's future. I plan to buy their entire collection; those of you who have cheated, please buy their CD's. We need to show to others that we care about this amazing music and their future; about Simone's voice. Spread the voice, make others join.
+Ricardo Martinez I've bought a few of their albums in hardcopy format. I was disappointed to note that they were riddled with DRM to prevent ripping the music into MP3 format. Quite uniquely so, in fact (most other bands don't bother). Never one to be deterred by such thing, I eventually managed to exploit the analog loophole to get MP3 rips of the songs so I could listen to what I had paid for on my phone too... BUT it left a bit of an unpleasant experience as far as buying their CDs go. Because the long and the short of it is... even if I buy CDs, it isn't to listen to them on a CD player....
+Ricardo Martinez You live in an age where a lot people think downloading music for free is their right. Nothing you or anyone says is going to change fact I'm afraid. That's the sad truth or the internet age.
I agree Epicas albums are worth buying. But I think gigs get bands more money, and pirated stuff gets them more fans that see them live, buy their merch and some also buy CDs. Without pirated stuff, I would not have discovered this amazing band. That doesn't mean that I won't buy some CD (that voice+music is worth spendig a few bucs on) and I would defo see them live if I have the opportunity. DRM and such crap also makes one not to buy cds. I'd rather buy merch and see them live for my money.
The Haunted games...where you get Simone Simons, Kathy Bates, Ray Liotta, Chevy Chase, Betty White and a naked Hillary Clintonto haunt you. Hopefully the poison you want picks you.
The lyrical voice of Simone is extraordinary. I cant understand why they have abandoned that in the last years of the band. I apreciatte the first works much more than the last albums for this reason. However, its a great band for me who love classical music and heavy songs.
M lol cause he's dead and doesn't know and goes insane.. have you ever seen Sixth Sense lol except hes not bruce willis and hes haunted by the most beautiful woman ever
This right here hits you hard to realize your life is minute to the ever flowing existence, but a mere speck in the wind. Time's just a concept And always the first thing to fade Hiding in weakness Nothing we can ever evade Years are cruel, they break us Bringing on decay and despair Awareness and perception Something we can never repair
Love this song! This was such a breath of fresh air to listen to a few years ago. Design Your Universe is still one of my favorite albums of theirs. Simone is amazing!
Sounds like a drum machine and a guitar machine and a bass machine..keyboard machine...voice machine...lyrics machine......a shadow, easily understood and digested IMHO : )

DevourSlumber Ev is alternative metal and lacuna coil is gothic metal, what I meant is that they're one of the best bands out there, and they're all female fronted.
Wolność jest dla mnie wszystkim czego chcę i pragnę Daj mi siłę, by się wyrwać Nie potrafię wytrzymać już dłużej Nadszedł mój czas, by zakończyć to wszystko
Why do all female symphonic metal singers have such damn beautiful eyes? Simone, Tarja, Floor, Sharon den Adel....their eyes are just like....WOW!
This video is honestly the first time I noticed, but yeah wow, her eyes are gorgeous.
Симона и Шарон, афигенные телки. А Тарья и тем более Флор - лошади 🤮
Why do they all look like xena warrior princess?
I dunno.. I prefer when the focus isn’t purely on the female vocalist.
@MiniLemmy windows to the soul and all that. Magnificent women with exceptional abilities.
Good makeup job
I just discovered this band five minutes ago. I've never heard their music before. It is so hypnotic. I am absolutely in love with the singers voice.
Enjoy:)
It's better late than never
Check out their entire chorography !
@@trexpeliahelvetios2302 Did you listen to storm the sorrows? Best stuff imo
Try listening to evanescence
@@vasiliskarasainis7187 I've been a fan of Evanescence for twenty years. 🤣
I don't understand the hate between Nightwish's and Epica's fans. Where am I? I love the both bands.
Kind of seems stupid since both bands singers are friends. -.- they both sound beautiful and that goes for floor and tarja as well.
Sophiex Dark yeah... that happens allot ... just stupid fans that think that just cuz they like a band that band is better than the others...
it happens with;
matallica and megadeath
ozzy and alice cooper
marilyn manson and rob zombie
evanescence, epica and nigtwish
linkin park and limp bizkit
at this point i just realized that ppl is violent and they always want to fight for something .... even about bands (the most stupid reason to fight for XD)
(cuz at the end we all like the competition we all know that every metallica fan likes megadeath XD)
Both dutch frontwoman so why is there hate
I didn't even realize this hate existed.

Can we just talk about the lyrics?! Before I saw the video, lyrics made me think about depression bc those who know will understand how detached from reality you can get and how depersonalization is really a thing and it makes you completely lose track of anything you ever loved/enjoyed and that's the leash, your cage, not even being the shadow of what you used to be. No inspiration, no consciousness, not knowing if you'll ever exist again as the song says
"I can't hold on for any longer"
I just love it how you could put all those feelings into words.
@@raboonyassin2291 Keep it up💕 a hug from Colombia 🇨🇴
I think it's about an old person with dementia
True, that's the main reason why i gave them an extra chance to listen to, i really love their lyrics

Declining, all color fading
Defining, time coming for me
Rescinding, my inspiration
Receding consciousness
Back in the day, I can recall that,
My thoughts were unclouded and sage
There was no black staining the walls of my memories
Now there's a haze pushing me sideways
And leaving me nothing to gain
Taking me back, locking me cold in disparity
Where was I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself
When I'm free
When my sun has set
Released my soul forever
I'll have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free
Color declines, all that defines me
Is falling away, far behind
Nothing to keep me with the time, the here and now
Where am I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Yearning again only to be myself
When I'm free
When my sun has set
Released my soul forever
I'll have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free
Time is just a concept
And always the first thing to fade
Agony and weakness
Nothing we can never evade
Years are cruel, they break us
Bringing on decay and despair
Awareness and perception
Something we can never repair
Cure me, free me, help me, see me
No more worry, no more losing
Save me, near me, help me, hear me
No more heartache, no misery
Cure me, free me, help me, see me
No more worry, no agony
Save me, near me, help me, hear me
No more heartache, no despairing (We despair)
Cure me, free me, help me, see me
No more worry, no repairing (No repair)
Freedom for me is all I'm really wanting, needing
Give me power to break out
I can't hold on for any longer
My time has come to end it all
No one to blame, fate's only random
It's nothing we'll ever explain
So it remains
Where was I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself
Free
When will I be unleashed?
It's not the way it should be
Yearning again only to be myself
When I'm free
Unleash my consciousness
When I'm free
When my sun has set
Released my soul forever
I'll have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free

The guy's been haunted by the whole band dude.
you are not alone
What an amazing voice ! Her transition to the full operatic voice is unique by the end of the song !

I think epica are happy if we are fans, see them live even if we don't owe physical cds.
A Simone é linda, pessoalmente ela é igual nos vídeos e nas fotos! E a voz dela ao vivo também! Encantadíssima!!!
Teve show aqui? 😱
@@ksp1ify simmm, semana passada. Em SP e Curitiba
Proud of our dutch goddesses: Floor Jansen, Charlotte Wessels, Sharon van den Adel, Simone Simons!!! Me lucky guy, have seen them all!!
You forgotten Anneke van Giersbergen - to be precise... BTW: It must be something in water I suppose...
@@draagnipur8767 You are most punctual.
@@mordovian8472 He is right though...Anneke has the best voice of all
Her voice is fabulous.
Love her voice ❤
She’s amazing
Wow your voice is great too young lady 😮
@@AjronB oh thank you😃
I get tingles up and down on my spine listening to this song, and for some reason I tend to tear up listening to Simone's voice, it's amazing
When are you coming back king Arthas?
Good music never gets old. It's 2015 and this song is still amazing.
2022. Still amazing.
It's almost 2023 and this song still among the best ever produced

Epica is one of my favorite symphonic metal bands ever. 🤘🤘🤘🤩🤩🤩
2005-2010 fue una de las épocas más brillantes del metal sinfónico.❤
Also,when she goes into opera mode at 4:50 gives me the chills every time cuz of how good she is.
"We got you in a straight jacket! You're going to listen to our songs forever! Ha ha ha ha haaaaa!....."
Another band I should have discovered years ago. Symphonic metal is now one of my favourite genres of metal.
Beautiful and gifted with a great voice.
Will love this Masterpiece song forever!!! Look and voice Simone's penetrate deep into the soul, and i am grateful to fate for what I found Epica.
I know this have nothing to do with epica and with this video, but i must say Mark Jansen have pure talent to make such an chilling amazing opera passages in songs and it give me chills no matters who sing it, that ending is really amazing, i think if he continued with Floor it would be same or even more amazing, but anyway, i give this man big respect for this :)
It's beyond beautiful, that voice is angelic. So epic & soultouching. I cannot describe my love for this song & band. Just wow.
Fue la primer cancion que escuche de epica, fue por aburrimiento en TH-cam y fue lo mejor que me paso en la vida ❤
I absolutely love this song! Epica blows me away, this is a very nicely done song! I can't even find the words to describe the epicness that I'm hearing!!!
Eu gosto de Epica porque é uma banda muito bem estruturada, perfeita em seus arranjos musicais e de conteudo intenso e melodioso, inteligente e atual.
The chorus of this song, especially the final refrain of the chorus is SO bone chilling...in a good way.
I didn't know that Dave Mustaine played drums. Nice.
LMAO
hah lol
The more I watch this the more I realise the guys body language and facial expressions are phenomenal. I feel like he might actually be a professional actor
4:50 Heavy headbanging action!
Dear God, I have a question for you ... why is Simone Simons so beautiful? Why does he have the voice of an angel? ... or better yet, why did you send one of your angels to this earth? Simone Simons is an angel and we humans do not deserve it
Love her beauty and such purity in Phanton Agony studio live.
Brazil here ✌🏾
I NEED THIS VID IN 4K
She has an amazing voice
She is one of the best singers out there! Amazing Simone...
Love this song... cant hear it without crying...
This song is so beautiful... powerful... deep and painful....I LOVE IT
First time I've heard them, absolutely great
If Simone Simons chose to haunt me, I'd be perfectly OK with that.
Just saiyan......
+anotherguttersnipe2 I totally agree. Just supersaiyan...
+anotherguttersnipe2 I would be in heaven actually
+anotherguttersnipe2 super saiyan
+ActivReitz do they have cookies ?
+anotherguttersnipe2 Also if it includes being shot?
I am older than the average Epica fan; I have just discovered this amazing band. But their fans are making a disservice to Epica, this is by not buying their CD's. Mark Jensen ironically complained about it in Hellfest. Come on, a CD is not that expensive. To cheat on lesser artists, it happens. But here fans need to be committed to the band's future. I plan to buy their entire collection; those of you who have cheated, please buy their CD's. We need to show to others that we care about this amazing music and their future; about Simone's voice. Spread the voice, make others join.
+Ricardo Martinez I've bought a few of their albums in hardcopy format.
I was disappointed to note that they were riddled with DRM to prevent ripping the music into MP3 format. Quite uniquely so, in fact (most other bands don't bother).
Never one to be deterred by such thing, I eventually managed to exploit the analog loophole to get MP3 rips of the songs so I could listen to what I had paid for on my phone too... BUT it left a bit of an unpleasant experience as far as buying their CDs go.
Because the long and the short of it is... even if I buy CDs, it isn't to listen to them on a CD player....
Every album that I have of theirs I have purchased, I plan to buy their other albums that I don't currently possess.
+Ricardo Martinez
You live in an age where a lot people think downloading music for free is their right. Nothing you or anyone says is going to change fact I'm afraid. That's the sad truth or the internet age.
I agree Epicas albums are worth buying. But I think gigs get bands more money, and pirated stuff gets them more fans that see them live, buy their merch and some also buy CDs. Without pirated stuff, I would not have discovered this amazing band. That doesn't mean that I won't buy some CD (that voice+music is worth spendig a few bucs on) and I would defo see them live if I have the opportunity. DRM and such crap also makes one not to buy cds. I'd rather buy merch and see them live for my money.
I feel the need to buy Pantene Pro V shampoo and conditioner. What a time to be alive
Simone if you wish to haunt someone, I volunteer as tribute
The Haunted games...where you get Simone Simons, Kathy Bates, Ray Liotta, Chevy Chase, Betty White and a naked Hillary Clintonto haunt you. Hopefully the poison you want picks you.
How is she that beautiful XD
Get in line.
I like ur name
Unleashed remastered ❤
This drummer kicks ass. All respect for him and Simone (o' course.)
I have no problem seeing Simone everywhere
part after 4:50 is equal to eargasm!
RIGHT
yağız yalçıntaş I prefert 5:13
You're kidding right?! 0:00 or gtfo
I love the whole song but that part is "oh My god she IS an angel". :)
The lyrical voice of Simone is extraordinary. I cant understand why they have abandoned that in the last years of the band. I apreciatte the first works much more than the last albums for this reason. However, its a great band for me who love classical music and heavy songs.
That kind of song never get old.
I wish simone randomally appeared behind me. Don't know what this guy is crying over.
M lol cause he's dead and doesn't know and goes insane.. have you ever seen Sixth Sense lol except hes not bruce willis and hes haunted by the most beautiful woman ever
Maxima, queen of Holand work in this videoclips, greetings from argentina
Haha, I thought the same thing for a second....
This song... Is pure genius!
This right here hits you hard to realize your life is minute to the ever flowing existence, but a mere speck in the wind.
Time's just a concept
And always the first thing to fade
Hiding in weakness
Nothing we can ever evade
Years are cruel, they break us
Bringing on decay and despair
Awareness and perception
Something we can never repair
2022 and this song is still absolute, pure genious. To think that this was a radio single!
dear nuclear blast,what about re-uploading this video with HD?thanks
Still waiting
RIGHT! LOL
Imagine it in 4k. 😍
A orang Indonesia yg cinta kepada epica ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this song! This was such a breath of fresh air to listen to a few years ago. Design Your Universe is still one of my favorite albums of theirs. Simone is amazing!
Ella es tan hermosa!! :3
the guy should have known he was dead and in heaven, as soon as he saw Simone because she is an angel :3
Simone was the perfect Ariel for The Mermaid live action version, what a lost opportunity
Lol at least if Simone was in the cast there would have been something good in that film. As is, it's just a shameless cash-grab.
Sounds like a drum machine and a guitar machine and a bass machine..keyboard machine...voice machine...lyrics machine......a shadow, easily understood and digested IMHO : )
This should have more views
I wish Simone would haunt me.
LOL!!!!!!!! i like too
el comienzo es epico!!!! me encanta!!
A mi igual
Keep hiding
All colors fading
Defining
Time coming for me
Rescinding my inspiration
Rescinding consciousness
Back in the day, I can recall that
My thoughts were unclouded and sage
There was no black stain in the walls of my memories
Now there's a haze pushing me sideways
And leaving me nothing to gain
Taking me back, locking me cold in disparity
Where was I meant to be?
I'm feeling lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself
When I'm free
When my sun has set
Release myself forever
I have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free
Color declines
All that defines me
Is falling away far behind
Nothing to keep me with the time
The here and now
Where am I meant to be?
I'm feeling lost in a dream
Yearning again only to be myself
When I'm free
When my sun has set
Release myself forever
I have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free
Time's just a concept (save me, near me, help me, hear me)
And always the first thing to fade (no more heartache, no misery)
Hiding in weakness(cure me, free me, help me, see me)
Nothing we can ever evade (no more worry, no agony)
Years are cruel, they break us (save me, near me, help me, hear me)
Bringing on decay and despair (we despair) (no more heartache, no despairing)
Awareness and perception (cure me, free me, help me, see me)
Something we can never repair (no repair) (no more worry, no repairing)
Freedom for me is all I'm really wanting, needing
Give me power to break out
I can't hold on for any longer
My time has to come to an end it all
No one to blame
Fate's only random
It's nothing we'll ever explain
So it remains
Where was I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself (free)
When will I be unleashed?
It's not the way to be
Yearning again only to be myself (unleash my consciousness)
Free (cure me, free me, help me, see me)
When my sun has set (no more worry, no more losing)
Release myself forever (save me, near me, help me, hear me)
I have no regret
To be free (cure me, free me, help me, see me)
I'll exist again (no more worry, no more losing)
No more lost endeavors (save me, near me, help me, hear me)
Nothing to contend
When I'm free
thet strage moment of the day when you NEED to listen to this song :3
Why is that strange? Need for something epic isnt strange.. At least for me
Macani
Actually, it is strange because the majority of the world is lame.
Que épico esta canción, me encanto 👍👏
4:49 El cambio en su tono de voz... :´)
Hermoso
All time favorite song of Epica. Totally in love with it.
Wow! These guys have a ton of hair.
I miss metal bands where every member has long hair lol
Too bad Bruce Dickinson had to cut his hair in order to become a pilot.
Grant Stoutenburg well, it is a metal band...
One of the current members, Coen, is bald. I wonder what's like to headbang when ur bald🤔
Epica is obviously one of the best Symphonic Metal bands out there.
Epica
Within Temptation
Lacuna Coil
Evanescence
They're all so perfect 🔥💜🤘
DevourSlumber Ev is alternative metal and lacuna coil is gothic metal, what I meant is that they're one of the best bands out there, and they're all female fronted.
DevourSlumber you got it twisted, weirdo.
DevourSlumber what was that about being childish?
DevourSlumber thanks a lot. Mr. Grown up.
Aurantiaca it's a personal taste. Why do you care?
its 2016 and this song still gives me goosebumps at 4:48
Wolność jest dla mnie wszystkim czego chcę i pragnę
Daj mi siłę, by się wyrwać
Nie potrafię wytrzymać już dłużej
Nadszedł mój czas, by zakończyć to wszystko
