as a 58 year old high school science teacher, I love it when the students find out that their teacher is not as boring : but loves: Delain, Within Temptation (yes I am Dutch), Nightwish, and many more in that field.
Gothic/Symphonic Metal is simply majestic. I'd also recommend Pyramaze, they are a power metal band with quite dreamy songs on their first two albums, now they are comparably poppy.
This was the first Delain's song that I heard years ago. I still listen to this album occasionally. It is impossible to get tired from it. Can't believe that 14 years have passed since then.
ayyyy same over here, April Rain album is just so good, still their best work in my eyes. Cant believe 13 years have passed since I listened to this while at school hiding my phone from any inspectors and supervisors at school haha. The album version is so so so much incredible too.
well... this one doesn't compare to those mentioned. I've seen Delian 3 times live (as a support band); not that great based off of our love for the bands you mentioned.
i've seen all the bands also and delain is fucking great,and ive seen them live 6 times.nobody is better than nightwish but that's nightwish.i love mark of epica when I talk to him because hes very smart but epica isn't great.wt is the sound of delain vica versa mainy since martijn is Roberts brother and brother in-law of sharone.iam bias towards delain because when I broke my back in 06 I wanted to die but it was delain who hepled with my depression,it didn't cure it but helped.take care my friend and everyone has got their beliefs and I respect yours.i hope you had a happy holidays william
Funny thing that DelaIn's frontman (the keybordist) is the younger brother of Within Temptation's frontman and he also played keybords on their first (or first two, don't remember right) albums.
I remember trying to look for an Evanescence song and i accidentally ended up clicking April Rain by Delain which was my introduction to this amazing band, it turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me and i've been a fan ever since. I've been to every single Delain London show and they're absolutely incredible live. 12 years later and this still gives me chills everytime i hear those opening chords. Unbelievable!
It was a similar case for me. I found them by accident on a metal website in the section of female-fronted bands. They had just released April Rain it was the first post on that website. I follow them ever since.
@@grgn7786 same for me when i first heard Delain, April Rain had just come out and this song was the one that was released, i bought their album and the rest is history.
How does it feel when all you're counting on is scatterbrained Every wind that you have sailed upon, a hurricane Every summer you have seen was filled with April rain It doesn't get easy, don't you know Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, dig that hole deeper Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, create your own fate Count your blessings and prepare to change your point of view All those days that you spend waiting won't come back to you Take off the glasses that have treated your world black and grey It doesn't get easy, don't you know Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, dig that hole deeper Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, create your own fate It keeps raining, keeps raining, keeps raining It keeps raining, 'Cause we are blind, keeps raining, 'Cause we are tired, keeps raining, 'Cause we are blind to fortune's guidance now It keeps raining, 'cause we are blind, it will keep raining, 'cause we are tired It keeps raining, 'cause we are blind oh, it will keep raining 'cause we are tired Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, dig that hole deeper Fortune smiles on you You're not watching, create your own fate
I still remember when I heard Frozen for the first time. I fell in love with Delain immediately. When this was released it just amplified it even more. I could never have a music library without them at this point. They are truly one of the best bands to ever do it.
This is the first metal video I ever watched. I was a child. Delain was one of the first metal bands I listened to. Eight years later this song is still beautiful.
I still remember downloading this on album release day. So long ago. The album is still epic in my book. Charlotte really came into her own here, especially in vocals.
Over 10 years later still love this song never gets old. 2 things about this song being great the melody and the vocals. I listen to al ot of progressive metal symphonic metal and classical, great music but a good vocal hook and melody the non musician can relate to.
The first band I ever heard and the first gig I ever went to in London absolutely incredible delain are one of my favourite bands of all time. *April Rain* is the first symphonic metal song I ever heard. *I LOVE DELAIN FOREVER*
Being a fan of Within Temptation and The Gathering, when I found this song I was so surprised that I never even HEARD of this band. They deserve so much more credit then they get!!
This song made me remember an older thing, I don't know what... Maybe nothing. Maybe something I've never lived. Maybe just the song talking to my inner! Simply wonderful.
I found these guys on Spotify listening to a random symphonic metal playlist and just thought how the fuck haven't I heard them before!? She has the most incredible tone to her voice. And that chorus, what a hook!
This song is my drug. This song is what really made me fall in love with Delain. This is the only band where I would get ever album of there even singles and Vinyl Records. This band and no other keeps me playing ever song with I never skip one. I stand and say thank you Delain.
@@seanrenzi7243 wtf? are you serious man? have you ever heard Evanescence? first 2 albums are fucking classics, not even comparable to this, and btw i like Delain and listened to them since the very beginning... this is commercial dutch metal, which i like but not even good as Within Temptation or The Gathering... maybe more like Autumn. Good but not special, the proof is most of people just remember them for this song, for Hietala being in the original lineup and for Charlotte who is a real beauty.
This will forever be my favorite song form them but wow, i can't help but notice the amazing progress they've made from April Rain to Lunar Prelude! They are most definately in my top 3 favorites
her voice sounds so melancholic and beautiful in this song makes me cry right away (april rain is the 1st song I listened from delain and I'm so glad it was)
1st listen on her b-day:5/13/21. Sharon of Within Temptation)Love her and WT) tweeted pic. I'm getting my dose of Charlotte and where the fuck have I been?!?!? Feel My Pain
I just remembered this band today, while being in the bus. I dont know why it happened, why now etc. Just one random lyrics of their song popped up in my mind and I started googling it) It is just unbelievebly cool)
Huh, only 10 thousand views? Most underrated symphonic metal band ever! I went to see them live in London a few days ago and they were phenomenal! I sincerely hope they get more noticed, they totally deserve it.
Woah she actually does seem to have a similar style. I mean obviously they are different (for ppl who will probably comment after) but it's cool that you caught that xD
You nailed it I was trying to think of who she sounds like either Shania or faith Hill singing hard rock. This chick is awesome. They are touring the US right now. April 27th in Chicago I cant go because im a musician myself and have to gig. This band is great even though they are more pop than I like but really polished.
@timelesstvonline I remember back in 2009 I was flying out to Arizona I listened to there CD April Rain. It was the first CD I played and I think I played it twice. Why well I don't like flying and hearing there music and ever thing really helped me it was feel good music when I need feel good music. :) So I agree with you 100%.

Same when I was in high school surprised to find out my history teacher is a big Pearl Jam fan
awesome! I am South African and speak Afrikaans but also love all these groups.
This was the first Delain's song that I heard years ago. I still listen to this album occasionally. It is impossible to get tired from it. Can't believe that 14 years have passed since then.
April Rain is a relic by the Charlotte era. Precious.
ayyyy same over here, April Rain album is just so good, still their best work in my eyes. Cant believe 13 years have passed since I listened to this while at school hiding my phone from any inspectors and supervisors at school haha. The album version is so so so much incredible too.
I can't believe this has 9 years old. I feel very nostalgic now.
x2
Feeling nostalgic is ok. Keeping eyes open for upcoming concerts seems to be more sufficient. Perhaps😉
It is the same with me. Even more now with the band breaking up.
@@Fernandodovs what a pity
I’m thinking the same at 11 years now.
Still an amazing song. Can't believe how fast time flies, 13 years ago now... lml
Being a fan of Within temptation, Epica, Nightwish and several other similar bands. HOW THE HELL HAVE I BEEN ABLE TO MISS THIS BAND???
Same for me !
well... this one doesn't compare to those mentioned. I've seen Delian 3 times live (as a support band); not that great based off of our love for the bands you mentioned.

Nope. He left WT for health issues and formed Delain about a year after once he rercovered.

How does it feel when all you're counting on is scatterbrained
Every wind that you have sailed upon, a hurricane
Every summer you have seen was filled with April rain
It doesn't get easy, don't you know
Fortune smiles on you
You're not watching, dig that hole deeper
Fortune smiles on you
You're not watching, create your own fate
Count your blessings and prepare to change your point of view
All those days that you spend waiting won't come back to you
Take off the glasses that have treated your world black and grey
It doesn't get easy, don't you know
Fortune smiles on you
You're not watching, dig that hole deeper
Fortune smiles on you
You're not watching, create your own fate
It keeps raining, keeps raining, keeps raining
It keeps raining, 'Cause we are blind, keeps raining,
'Cause we are tired, keeps raining,
'Cause we are blind to fortune's guidance now
It keeps raining, 'cause we are blind, it will keep raining, 'cause we are tired
It keeps raining, 'cause we are blind oh, it will keep raining 'cause we are tired
Fortune smiles on you
You're not watching, dig that hole deeper
Fortune smiles on you
You're not watching, create your own fate
my first Delain song I ever heard! ah that year was great just got into metal thanks to nightwish, metal changed my life
The same situation.
It's April and this Corona Virus has turned our whole upside down. Thank you Delain for this Hopeful song.

1sr listen on her b-day:5/13/21. Sharon of Within Temptation(Love her and WT)tweeted pic
Music like this doesn't need a video to appreciate. Music like this opens up my imagination.
I wish I could thumbs up this song a bunch of times.
I forgot about this song for like 5 years no lie. Crazy track.
This song always gives me an extremely positive message
Those vocal harmonies...My God that's something special
This is the first metal video I ever watched. I was a child. Delain was one of the first metal bands I listened to. Eight years later this song is still beautiful.
One of the best songs ever. Proud at this Dutch band with some members also from me hometown.

Delain continues to be one of my favorite bands. Charlotte's vocals are amazing and they put on a very good live show.
This song was my introduction to Delain. As far as first impressions go, you can't do much better, and it was right on the mark. Great band.
This song made me remember an older thing, I don't know what... Maybe nothing. Maybe something I've never lived. Maybe just the song talking to my inner! Simply wonderful.

Welcome to Gothic metal
@@mushfek symphonic metal*
Agreed they are one of my favorite bands due to their variety of styles.
😮😮😮
Yeah a lot of people prefer operatic over this pop(ish) vocal style but to me it gets less boring and easier to listen
I am a huge fan of this band played April rain 3 times in a row tonight the louder the better amazing song
This song is my drug. This song is what really made me fall in love with Delain. This is the only band where I would get ever album of there even singles and Vinyl Records. This band and no other keeps me playing ever song with I never skip one. I stand and say thank you Delain.
Love this song...every time I cross the Millennium Bridge in London, it starts playing in my head...I can all too easily imagine it in this video...
charlotte's voice,
I've just gone from evanescence, to halestorm to this...... my minds just been blown
+Ezra Farrant From those 3 , Delain is the best.
+Ezra Farrant Within Temptations good - these guys are better but they're still good.
Ezra Farrant delain blows ecanessence away
Check out Epica if you haven't already

Well, 2 members are already back..
@@toltect3744 -- And Martijn is still writing songs, so....
Actually they are completely the same now I heard the new songs.
This band is highly underestimated...
I estimate them very highly, so take solace in the fact that not everyone underestimates them.
Standart riffs, standart solo, standart quality. Nothing special, nothing interesting.
all metal bands are underestimated...
Agreed. This band plays pop metal without sounding cheesy
Awesome and agreed underrated
Great sound and awesome vocals. Never heard of this band until now.
I just remembered this band today, while being in the bus. I dont know why it happened, why now etc. Just one random lyrics of their song popped up in my mind and I started googling it) It is just unbelievebly cool)
This was the song, I discovered this band with, went out & bought the record & been a fan ever since & will be seeing them in April 2023
this is beautiful.
She is too! Song is good too!
+1
I can not believe that it s been nine years since the release of that masterpiece
Primeira vez que ouço a banda, bateu a curiosidade.... O que esperar de uma banda com vocal feminino, holandesa?! Nada menos que perfeição né! Amei 😍
I saw this band perform live with Kamelot in Baltimore. It was an amazing show!
I heard this song today for the first time and fell in love immediately. Absolutely beautiful and BRILLIANT!!
one of the best albums ever!
Forgot how great this song is :D
One of my favourite songs...
Reminds me of the Chain Bridge in Budapest.
Very great hit my Queen Charlotte Wessels. Love to see you in a duet with one other Queen 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Delain is absolutely awesome. One of my favorite Symphonic metal bands. April Rain is a great song.
First time I have listened too Delain....and I am not disappointed!
Indimenticabili. Quando ascolto i primi due album i brividi spuntano sempre. From Italy with love ❤
One of the best metal songs I've heard in ages, her vocals on this song is just breathtaking!
Más de ocho años y justo en el instante correcto.. / more than eight years and it comes at the right moment..
Such a great song
One of the first digital downloads I made. Thanks to this track and never looked back.
A song has a memories.. Times goes on
I love You So Much Delain❤️🌹

Well done Delain. Well done.
Man this is beautiful
All I have to say is awesome lead vocals from Charlotte, reminds me so much of Shania Twains vocal style
I'd have to say Charlotte is way better sorry
Woah she actually does seem to have a similar style. I mean obviously they are different (for ppl who will probably comment after) but it's cool that you caught that xD
You nailed it I was trying to think of who she sounds like either Shania or faith Hill singing hard rock. This chick is awesome. They are touring the US right now.

Amazing in 2021 & forever!
I have to agree, her voice is unique from most gothic/metal/symphonic singers..
They are awesome!
A good song, following metal standards, efficient. I like To hear this one.
The intro of this song is a great ringtone: starts soft and then ...!!!! wakes you up!!
Been listening to within temptation and nightwish for over a decade. Why did it take me this long to find this group
@timelesstvonline I remember back in 2009 I was flying out to Arizona I listened to there CD April Rain. It was the first CD I played and I think I played it twice. Why well I don't like flying and hearing there music and ever thing really helped me it was feel good music when I need feel good music. :) So I agree with you 100%.
У Шарлотти просто волшебный голос. Музыка завораживает.
This band is highly underrated
I FOUND IT FINALLY remember watching this on kerrang when i was like 14
Charlotte Du bist einfach die Beste
I hope they manage to get a company that can make quality videos. The music is amazing. The videos just don't hold up some times...
this song is so glorious
GREAT! THANKS!
just saw them in kc last night with night wish and they killed it
so beautiful vocalist
