This my first time listening to this song. I've been an Epica fan for years but stayed away from music for the last three years as a result of a personal tragedy in my life. This song a masterpiece. And Simone and her voice seem to grow more and more beautiful with each passing day.
I was there front row and center. Simone recorded a song “ Rise Again “ with Apocalyptica earlier but to all our surprise they performed this classic song from Epica. It was the first time they did it. There are several versions of this song, no longer versions, but all worth listening to.
I was at this show, so one of the lights was my phone. Needless to say it was a great show. Unfortunately this is how long the song is, but I agree with your sentiment. Fortunately there are a number of different versions of it: The album version, the a Capella version from Omega Alive, the 'something in between' version from the 20th Anniversary show and finally this one with Apocalyptica.
No versions that are longer, but two versions worthy of comparison. There is an official visualizer for the original studio version on TH-cam and there is the A Cappella version from Omega Alive with just Simone and a choir which is magical.
Good reaction. Was live at the show. Great show. Apocalyptica was great too. In fact this were 2 shows. First Apocalyptica then Epica. This was the only song they did together tat evening. This year in September Epica has 3 shows with live Orchestra and Choir. 2 in the Netherlands and 1 in Mexico. Got a ticket for both shows in the Netherlands. Thanks for this reaction.
And yeah 🔥💜🤘💜🔥 Another great performance Epicness 🔥💜🔥 Maybe next Xandria with new vocalist Ambre Vourvahis Unfortunately not great live performances videos available but highly recommend sing through or official music video They released new album last year Definitely worth to check Regards and thank you for reaction 🙏👍❣
If you liked the song and wanted to hear more, one solution would be to check out their other versions: - Official video (studio version) - Omega Alive - 20th Anniversary show - Official one shot (live in Chile)
So glad you did this one. I did suggest it in the previous song, but sure I wasn't the only one. I love bands that can go heavy but also do something as beautiful as this. Some great other versions of this song as mentioned. A longer Ballad though would be 'Chasing The Dragon' - another of my personal favourites. th-cam.com/video/Dx-FsHAQHp8/w-d-xo.html
After this I think it's warranted you dig deeper into Epica, here's a suggestion, a masterpiece, a symphonic achievement: EPICA - The Phantom Agony (Studio sessions) th-cam.com/video/SziSvMh8sBY/w-d-xo.html Length: 9:13
Easily one of the most beautiful songs I have heard in 58 years.

This song was writting by the bass player ROB VAN DER LOO of EPICA !
Her voice can give you chills every time. This must have been wonderful live.
Simone is absolutily stunning!
I was at this show and it was magical to experience live!
In september I get to see them with a full orchestra and choir!
Where, if I may ask?
@@mariodriessen9740 They have two shows in Amsterdam on September 19 and 20. 😊
They also have a show in Mexico on December 7.
@@Percy92 : Thanks!!! 😊
Hauntingly gorgeous…damn. Simone my gawd!!! ❤

Love this song. Showed this to my father over Christmas vacation. He was taken back. Pretty emotional

And don't forget the Chile version which is a "regular" live version, but beautifully shot.

HOLY CRAP...... What a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
the children's choir at the end adds a special layer to this song 🔥
