Mark's vocals have improved so much since they first started. He sounds absolutely incredible now.
Yeah I remember thinking in their old stuff it was pretty mediocre and live it was just.... plain unpleasant lol. He sounds great now
His vocals just give me shivers in this performance.... CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEEAAAD *dies*
I used to think to myself, especially in things like we will take you with us... how can you scream like that without wincing in pain at screaming from your throat like that. I'm glad to hear that he still has that tone, but there's more depth to it and you know that he's doing it right now
Mark is one of the most underrated songwriters in metal right now :S
I love Mark is a genious
But Arie wrote this song 😀
It's the best to me. ❤️
fucking majestic album, this song is already a classic. Well done guys and Simone you sing marvellously, that song is hard to sing but you have done brilliantly for a live performance. Long live the new kings and queen of symphonic metal.
Ligeia Noire It's live footage with the sounds of the album.
Mario Lorist you should ask mark
Ligeia Noire Don't have to. Look at the tiny little cameras, for instance on the keyboard of Coen and on the drumkitt of Arrien. With those little things it's impossible to record a sound as we hear it. Those things are put there only for the images. Compare the song as you hear it on the video with the sound on the album. It's exactly the same. Nevertheless is Epica live one hell of a band. Saw them twice this year (Groningen and Leeuwarden) and they are live awesome.
Mario Lorist I guess they didn't have to do that, retrospect is not that good of a performance and they still put it on a dvd so...
Mario Lorist You can't be serious. Even aside from the blatantly different EQ between the two, listen to the differences in Simone's phrasing, especially on the chorus. I'll give you this, her voice is most likely pitch-corrected judging from some of those robotic snaps, but this is definitely NOT the album audio. They most likely pulled the sound directly from the PA, brought the stems into a studio somewhere, and had a quick mix created from that.
Simone is not a human, she is a godess avatar from a higher spiritual
dimension. Epica is the most creative best sounding band/act in modern
time, musicallity beyond..... And yes, I'm 56 years old, with 35 years in the music business.... Not many acts has affected me this profound....
Enjoying this wonder during the quarantine.
Where are the Brazilians in 2020 ???
Apreciando essa maravilha durante a quarentena.
Cadê os brasileiros em 2020??? 🇧🇷
Opa,aqui,é uma das minhas bandas favoritas pra vida \m/
Aqui, sempre fenomenal! :D
✌🏾
🙋🏽♂️
aoooooooo
This song sounds spectacular live in my opinion.
Simone Simons, such a divine voice and presence in the metal scene
I actually like this live version better than the album version!
true.
I'm so proud to be Dutch, many great musicians and vocalists in the metal scene are Dutch, Simone Simons, Floor Janssen, Arjen Lucassen, Anneke van Giersbergen, Sharon den Adel and so much more, so fantastic
Anneke its the best one haha.
#Steffelaar # Charlotte Wessels,Manda Ophuis,Caroline Westendorp,Floor Jansen,Simone Simons,Anneke van Giersbergen,Dianne van Giersbergen,Sharon Den Adel all my favorite vocalist 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
I'm Belgian and I'm happy Isaac is Belgian too.... Can't name many others! Haha :-P
U should be proud bro... That much of a talent... Its insane... Is it a coffee shops? Serbia luv u all
@@pedjavukmirovic6770 no it’s the availability of very good education institutes for every genre.
Thanks nightwish, for kicking out two lead vocalists and hiring floor so I would dig in her past, find a duet of her and simone, discovered simone and epica and fell in love with them. Thank you nightwish
wow! Big journey! =D
Thank you After Forever (Floor Jansen's first band) for Mark Jansen's departure from that band made me follow his next project which was Epica.
I had exactly the same journey!
@@gizemcelik6045 which one do you like better? Epica, Nightwish or Xandria?
@@arpitabrahmachari7649hard to say because I find them very different. But Nightwish has a very special place in my heart :) what about you?
And I don't know Xandria yet
I see their lighting guy still intends on thinning the heard by weeding out any epileptic fans...
Scott M Bruhhhh.... LMAO
Scott M i went to a show once , its not the same standing in the crowd
Scott M yep. I aint epileptic butI was bothered by that on the Retrospect disc and also here, should be interesting for the Edmonton show next month. VIP, Can't wait.
Karam Dabagh
Oh yeah? Remember that one dude you tripped over on your way out the door, and you wondered why someone would take a nap in a concert? He can't say the same, and that was no nap.
best comment ever! lol, so true!
That riff, that drum, a 3:06. It absolutely kills. Best riff Mark has ever come up with.
Something is wrong
My strength has gone
Thoughts are corrupting my mind
I can see I perceive this ain’t me
Something so strong
My mood has swung
I can’t get it out of my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence is…)
You’re searching and bursting
There seems to be no cure
When tension endures
Delusions corrupting my mind
I can see I perceive this ain’t me
There seems to be no way
When light fades to grey
To get them all out my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for your essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence is…)
Make a start
Explore your heart
When a persistent memory
Penetrates deep in your mind
Allow the silence to destroy
Your thoughts in every kind
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Allow the silence
To wipe your thoughts away
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence lies IN SILENCE)
Thank you
Ariën doesn't get enough attention for his drumming, no where near enough. He's damn good in the studio versions like this but live, he's in a different universe, he does the funkiest, off the wall, off beat kicks but damn if he isn't amazing. Ariën and Isaac joining the band was one of the best thing's that could of happened in my opinion, their styles blend better with the rest of the group and really allowed mark to unleash all the heavier ideas he had wanted to do.
this band... ON FIRE!
Such a nice video. Love this song, love the entire Quantum Enigma album.
Wholesome!
Saw them Feb. 2nd 2016 here in Atlanta....one thing marked off of my bucket list. As a 52 year old lifelong metalhead, and a fan of this band for almost 15 years, it was one of the musical highlights of my life. They were supremely tight musicianship-wise, and phenomenally entertaining....and good Lord is Simone freaking gorgeous ! STILL smiling 2 months later 😀
Guturais do Mark estão ótimos nesse álbum.
This deserves way more views, what a great performance by the whole band and Simone sounds so good. This is not an easy song by any means and she pulls it off so well.
Heavy , coherent and dynamic sound, crystal clear vocals. They are doing really a good job, consolidating themselves as the best on this genre.
What a brilliant song, never bored to this for many years 😄 In my ears they start from like oriental/middle east vibe in 0:43, then switch to jazzy feel by 1:13, finally the chorus 1:28 use a pop progression. All of them are very well blended with metal aggression
One of the sickest breakdowns I've ever heard in my life
Mark has become one of the very best growlers in the business.. unbelievable growth. incredible performance from simone as always in such a hard song for the vocalist to perform live. such high notes, fast with not much room for big breaths.. queen. never seen a more beautiful woman. never heard a more beautiful voice. here s to epica. an incredible 15+ years since i first heard you guys.
Oh my... this the best Band ever!!
Thanks, EPICA!!
é inacreditável a trajetória dessa banda, começaram já em grande qualidade, e conseguiram manter o padrão "epica" de qualidade!
Only a few can fully understand the meaning of this, and even less had expirience it fully. Hope that change soon. Awesome job Epica!
EPICA, one of the best Band Ever ! Rule the Earth ! Yeahh
amo essa banda, na minha opinião ela é a melhor de symphonic metal
PURE ART
This is better than the album recording, very impressive!
This is amazing ! We need more official live videos 🙏
8 years since this song came out and I just wanted to give it another visit
Epica is the best Symphonic Metal band of all times
See you in December here in Manchester! Can hardly wait!
I freaking love you, guys.
I’m not quick to call something ‘the best ever’ because often it depends on your mood and day, but here I’d have to say this song has the best breakdown that I know.
It was a mistake no see you when you came to Colombia.
You guys are awesome.
Awesome new video! Going to the Epica, Eluveitie, and The Agonist show in Vancouver Sept 22nd...can't wait!
