Simone was born to sing ballads, her voice touches my soul very deeply. Such beautiful song and video ❤️
Категорически не согласен. Она одинаково великолепно исполняет как баллады, так и динамичные песни. К примеру, мою любимую The Essence Of Silence, которую никак балладой не назовёшь: ua-cam.com/video/P6hX5rpEOgY/v-deo.html
@@ncvitek i dont understand what you said 😅
@@ncvitek la tuya por si acaso
@@fritsyt2090 в гугле забанили?
@@ncvitek но баллады все таки роскошные и она в них лучше раскрывается.
где нет Марка так вообще идеально
She's like a siren with that voice
Or Angel 👼
She is Both guys, chosen by God Metal. 😁🤘🏻
Well she can take me... 👀
I couldn't agree with you more she's my favourite vocalist!!
A siren indeed.. i would be lost at sea if i could hear that voice
In Storm the Sorrow, Simone expelled all the dark liquid with her blinding light. In Rivers, she welcomes the dark liquid as it runs backwards to her hands. She realized that we aren't just made of light. Awesome.
Balance
wonderful symbolism.
@@koscheithedeathless6653 yess, she painting her face with dark color as final act is so beautiful and powerful. Its like the opposite of Storm the Sorrow
@@koscheithedeathless6653 Very poignant comment I agree with everything you have said

My Grandma passed away this past year, the day after Thanksgiving, which is a big holiday for us in America. She always made it so special. Days before, I remained at her bedside as much as I could. One morning, I was outside and this song came into my mind. It was on repeat. I thought it was just a way of me coping with reality that day. Later that night, as, I and two other family members were sitting at her bedside, I felt compelled to sing to her, this song. I know, to some the words sounded inappropriate, but, for some reason I kept on, softly, and caressing her loving face. It wasn't till after she was gone, that she was singing Rivers to me, through my body, my voice, urging me to Fight Against the Tide of Life.
Lyrics:
Become one with imagination
No more fairytales (No more fairytales)
Our souls will unite together
We will lift the veil (Lift the veil)
Your touch has turned to stone
No fire in your bones
It's time to leave the past behind
The road is neverending
All dreams will start ascending
Beyond the boundaries of the mind
Break loose from the chains
Rise above the waves
Fighting in the darkness
Dancing in the light
Break out of your cage
Turn another page
Drowning in the river
Swim against the tide of life
Holding tight to the ever after
Living for a sign (Living for a sign)
To survive raging storms together
Through the eye of time (Through the eye of time)
The eye shows no reflection
No dreams without inception
Exists within oceans of time
Break loose from the chains
Rise above the waves
Fighting in the darkness
Dancing in the light
Break out of your cage
Turn another page
Drowning in the river
Swim against the tide of life
The coil in which we're living
Is more than another prison
The scheme of life became deranged
Dark clouds with silver linings
Attain the mysteries of shadow and shine
Break loose from the chains
Rise above the waves
Fighting in the darkness
Dancing in the light
Break out of your cage
Turn another page
Drowning in the river
Swim against the tide of life
Thank u
txz u so much
Thanks so much for posting the lyrics.
Você é demais.
Thanks 💓
Simone's voice is so beautiful!!!
Totally agree 💯
Somebody: Of course sirens do not exist, they're just a legend
Simone Simons: hold my wine
Floor Jansen " Oooh wine...pass it over and I'll join you " :-p
@@vlad-ovidiuadam6489 I would love to hear them duet
I love Simone but the chorus with the contrast of Floor would be epic
@@MCvzquez duet on this song or in general?because they have performed on the same stage at the same time before
@@vlad-ovidiuadam6489 on this song
@@MCvzquez Oh hells to yea on that, mate... that would definetly be an even more hypnotizing song to crash into the cliffs for :)
Symphonic Metal Goddess
Simone is a very sensitive person. Epica is like a hidden and mystical friend helping us to free ourselves ♥️
Wtf?!
@@ddmn3648 wtf?! x2
"Storm the Sorrow" is about fighting depression too.
@Andre Sheckman Wut?
They are channels for higher consciousness.
Now here's a voice that can melt an iceberg.
Yes but let’s not melt any more icebergs. Our hearts are enough.
It can also crack and shatter icebergs
Or freeze one
so you wanna say she´s enviromentally harmful? :-)
The iceberg's on fire...
I would listen to this song on repeat a few days after my mom passed away. And I’ve gone back to often since then.
Yes. Simone is brilliant and her voice is gorgeous. But can we also take a second to appreciate that children's choir? That was my favourite part
this children choir will always throw me back to Nightwish :)
Reminds me Sentenced's End Of The Road
Seriously impressive that Epica can consistently make ballads that are as good as their metal
Yeah I remember when Metallica made badass ballads like Fade To Black, Welcome Home (Sanitarium) and One then when Metallica sold out Pantera made even more badass ballads like Cemetery Gates and Floods now the torch has been sent to Epica. Elitists just need to know Epica is carrying the tradition of Metal ballads that Metallica started.
@@Wheresthepepsibismol Search up Symphony X - Paradise Lost, When All Is Lost, Swan Song, Candlelight Fantasia, The Edge of Forever, The Sacrifice and Accolade II.
Do it NAOW!
I'm really impressed. It's more than perfect. Simone is able to lead our soul wherever she wants. This song should play on radios. Breathtaking! I'm eager to record she singing it live on tour.
True, but on the other hand, radios usually don't know when is enough and they play every song so many times you get fed up with it. So maybe better if they don't.
@@cancelled_user that's for top 10 hits maybe....
It’s official: Simone is a mermaid 🧜♀️😍❤️
They should have chosen her to be The Little Mermaid in the new live action film.
Send help, I discovered Epica a few months ago and can't stop listening to their songs
Welcome to the epica family 😂
By hearing their songs you have been helped in many ways you may not notice quickly. It takes time to observe your inner self friend. Welcome bradda.
Hey man, why would you stop listening to their songs ? I've listened to them for the first time 3 days ago and now I'm addicted
Wait until you see them in show, there's no going back :D
You're fine...you don't need help. 😁
- How Angelic can you sing Simone?
- YES
This is faaaaar beyond the beauty! There's no even word created to describe how marvelous it is! I'm just crying 😍😍
Greetings friend
Shorobreshchuk
Me too my friend
Saludos desde México 👍
good music will always live on
There is only one thing wrong with this song, it is not long enough, it is that good.
@Palynzer its not necessary but ok
Almost 5 mins is the usual time for a single, but I agree it should be about 8 :-)
Only thing wrong is the piano ''riff'' reminds me of the song Impossible ahah
@@kalamatata3622 I said a couple of months ago that the song reminded me of another song and we came to the conclusion it was Impossible, so well done there.
Most beautiful song. Rob is a fantastic song composer and Simones vocals are out of this world...well done by all!
Listen: Imposible - Shontelle
@@superludiooficial4310 ikr???
@@superludiooficial4310 yes it's very similar
Because copy cat, really? He can't composer original song, come on.
@@abby3734 he can't. All Epica songs are copied from some popular tune. This is why I will always think Nightwish is number one. They aren't copycats.
Guys, this is wonderful. I have no words to describe how I love you and love your music. You changed my life Epica, thank you 💚
BRAVÍSSIMA 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
MULHER EU TE AMO
Vocês se parecem btw
She´s amazing
I just discovered Epica today because Floor Jansen had Simone on her channel. I'm spending the day catching up and pretty happy with what I've found so far :)
I discovered Epica because of Nightwish two years ago, so good. So so good. Also: please listen to Sancta Terra and Sabat Mater Dolorosa ft Floor. They're both live and brilliant.
Welcome!!
Welcome!! It’s one of the greatest groups ever! I discovered them when they had released the phantom agony album! Been in love with them since then! 👌👌
I dropped literally everything and clicked on this so fast, excited more than a little kid on christmas. This is so amazing. My day was shit and now I feel something so nice I could cry.
Hope your day keeps getting better. Take care!!
@@AL-uw5my thank you 🖤
Have a lovely weekend, keep smiling and enjoy Epica...hoping we can all return to normality soon and go to concerts etc...be safe and take care 🤘
@@simonking5863 thank you guys, you all too! 🖤
yep! this was such an amazing thing to start off the day with
Official Simone Visualizer.
To be fair it's obviously isn't easy to shoot a video in the middle of lockdowns all over the place.
This song deserves to be listened by every human being, animal, any kind of entity of the Universe. GOD DAMN!
¿ Algún latino que ame Épica igual que yo ? ❤️❤️❤️
si bro desde que conoci a EPICA fue un flechazo por ella,la musica,phanton agony lo mejor y si viva Epica ctm 🤘🏻💘
Por supuesto. Amo a Épica, desde Colombia.
brasileno!! belo horizonte, minas gerais, brasil.
Eu, Brasil
Hola.. Montevideo Uruguay
How much zoom do you want??
Simone: yess
Hahaha
next time the entire video will just be a close-up on one of her eyes
Lmao
Is this what people mean when they talk abou zoom meetings?
That's ok, she's naturally beautiful.
Simone makes me want to live !! Look at those eyes, the different shades of blue !! That siren voice, she is out of this world !! Congratulations Simone, Epica and everyone involved !! OMEGA will give color to our gray days !! 🧜♀️🌊💙💙💙🐟🦈🐳🏞
If you love her eyes "Solitary Ground" is just the best song / video ever 😍

The voice...and beauty of Simone can launch a thousand Viking ships
aging like fine wine is the voice of simone. The evolution of Epica is so pleasing to see and hear through the years
That song combined with that video is pure art !❤️
A masterpiece 🖤
Epic song
Epic voice
Epic choir
Epic(a) band
Yes, I know she does this for a living. But Simone's breath control is amazing. Her expression, like Floor Jansen, is remarkable. The crescendo is (briefly) operatic and encompassing
Her voice is simply one of the elites of all singers....period.
I would say the best. And it seems like is getting better.
This is yet another masterpiece. Listened now like 15 times to this super awesome ballad everytime goosebumps all over my body and some tears in my eyes. What a beautiful angelic voice does Simone has nowadays, she truly gets better with each year! ❤️ Thank you Epica for this awesome song! 🤘
Same 💙
@@cinthyarobalino7579 🖤🖤🖤
Same here exactly the Same feelings i have
Just phenomenal, love Epica.....can’t wait for Omega and 2022 to see them live, as many times as possible. They are my antidote to COVID and depression. 🤘❤️🤘 peace and love to all.
Agreed! I was supposed to see them 2 times live last year but COVID happened... if next year everything turns to normal, I’m going to increase this 2 times to much more live gigs they’ll be playing 😃
I see you got hear early Simon! Don't mind me just listening to the song on repeat hahaha.
Can't stop listening to this beautiful song! Simone sings like an angel!
This is not a song. THIS IS PURE MAGIC 💙 I'm fascinated by the voice, music, video. So simple, but so soft and gentle, like a lullaby.
Me mueeeerooo!!! LOS AMO!! gracias por existir y darnos alegría❤️
Sin duda Simone tiene la mejor voz esa voz q te teletransporta a otro mundo a otra era esto es épico y q mejor q épica lo logré
This bands music may last a few minutes,but its so beautiful,that seems like an eternity in paradise!
I don’t know perfection exists but this is an example of perfection what a beautiful song
Deeply human. I like the way Epica merges spirituality with emotional and even scientific concepts effortlessly.
There are no words for that ... It's like a real Angel singing ❤️❤️❤️
The Best Ballad delivered perfectly from Epica, this song is incredible , After the 3 releases of the singles from Omega ,Now i have no doubt that this album will be Epica’s Best Album ever. Love from Tel Aviv ♥️
And Mark said there will be a single with music video release after this glorious ballad! So keep your eyes open the coming weeks 🤘🏻
Indeed!
@@fritsyt2090 the skeleton key was better than this.
Her voice is crystal clear! She's perfect!
One million views soon. It deserves so much more, but for a Symphonic Metal band with less commercial appeal than the others, they're doing good in these "streaming times". I keep supporting them since 2016. Till forever and ever hahaha. 🇧🇷
Oh my God! My heart stops...I'm so in love with this song! ❤️
@Epica ..wie macht ihr das nur immer wieder?! Diese Melodie, der Text, die Stimme von Simone dazu, es ist einfach ein Traum! Ich weine weil es so schön ist! ❤️❤️❤️
Wie sie es machen? Einfach von Shontelle "Impossible" nehmen und einen anderen Text nehmen und die Melodie so lassen
This is the best single of all 'til now.
This song reminds me of ''Tides Of Time'' from the album Design Your Universe, one of my favorite ballads. I'm expecting so much for this upcoming album
Her voice is angelical... and the children choir is stuning!... how lovely can be EPICA?, they are AWESOME always!
I'm loving that Simone is improving her vocals and her performance every day.
Wow, what a song!! So deep, powerfull, touching and beautiful. Simone has one of the most beautiful voices in the whole world! ❤️
We do not deserve Simone. Her voice is angelic💘
Das Lied ist so wunderschön. Sobald Simone anfängt zu singen habe ich Gänsehaut und zum Ende kullern dann die Tränen.
This video is amazing! I believe it's my favourite Epica music video (even though it's only a visualizer). And Simone's voice is so crystal clear and beautiful 😻
very nice song, Epica's ballads are all for a bad day
Soy una persona muy mayor pero cuando viene Epica a la Argentina siempre voy.Me encanta.un sueño.saludos
Thank you Simone for playing another masterpiece, just superb from start to finish. And thank you for making songs that I will listen to all my life.
The song is amazing, it reminds me the "memories" cover from the "we will take you with us" album
it reminded me of higher high too!
Love this cover
@@figger612 I heard Impossible by Exit Eden too, glad it wasnt just me :)
That is a brilliant album!!!!
@@figger612 i thought the chorus sounded like impossible and the piano like stairway to the skies by within temptation
This song is beautiful. The music video is absolutely amazing. My fav colour is blue, i’m in love with glitter. Simone looks gorgeous. 10/10 💙
100% agree!
Btw... you look gorgeous too ;]
Those who don’t like it I think they live a very sad life. This is an amazing expression of music
This is perfect! Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
It was truly EPIC to sing in the choir at the end! Amazing end product!!
Her voice😍😭 so much passion
Wish I could inspect her back, I'm sure I'd find traces of wings. She's an angel.
How cool would it be, to be one of the kids in the choir that was used for the background. At about 3:00 minutes the background children's choir comes in. Freaking awesome.
I’m one of the “kids” in the choir and recording was amazing!
@@daankarstens5118 I have to admit. I'm super jealous. Being involved in such a great song and working with Epica would be so amazing.
I have the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Scorpio and this video is everything for me !! The sea and the deep, dark waters, talk to me, they embrace me, devour and heal. Diving in the waters is a journey!
WTF??
Lol I'm a cancer so that makes me a water sign and a moonchild 🌙🌊
Sin duda alguna la voz de Simone es angelical en lo personal me transporta a una era medieval tan solo escuchar esa hermosa voz cuál si fuera un ángel me crea un orgasmo auditivo q solo épica logra con sus canciones
Muy cierto 😌, hermosa canción 👌😍
Feels like you are in the ocean and a Siren is calling you ❤️
Heaven called......
... and all the angels want their voices back 😇❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶
Such a wonderful ballad. 😍😍😍
No wonder Epica is my favorite band and as they evolve so we are. 🎶🎶🎶
What a beautiful piece of music! What an amazing voice, a powerful, beautiful, enchanting, angelic voice that touches our souls!
just wow, i think i forgot how could be Simone Simons' voice, just between powerfull and finess. and such a high key notes.. just wow
Epica is just wow.
This song is just a masterpiece to listen to on repeat over and over. I'm getting Tides of Time/Dreamscape/Once Upon a Nightmare vibes with it, and you cant get much better than those 2 songs for ballads.
I think it should be noted that this band literally came off of celebrating the 10th anniversary tour (interrupted midway through thanks to COVID) of their breakthrough album Design Your Universe, to then having all the luxury of time on their hands to get the creative juices going to make album #8 (which so many bands/artists are using the time to do).
You could ask for no more on a music video. I just felt like flying calmly through beautiful blue skies. So touching. So smooth. Still haven't landed ❤❤❤
I'm convinced Simone is a Seraphim a dragon angel 🐉👼
Beautiful ❤
I'm not crying. You are
Masterpiece ❤❤❤😍 love IT 😍🥰🔥
I can't wait any longer!! I want to listen the entire album right now!! Such a beautiful ballad, and the children's choir... Amazing!!!
For me, the best ballad and Epica's music video.
Breathtaking
I'm just shocked. Can't stop listening to it for hours. Literally. I've already memorized the lyrics. I have such high hopes for this album...
PURE MAGIC! No words to describe what I feel with these lyrics and video. Simply AMAZING 💙
This Song give me real Eurovision Song Contest Vibes !!!!!!!!!!! Very Good and Beautiful.!!!!!!
Beautiful beyond description
Beautiful! Chega logo 26 de fevereiro!!!!!
I´m falling in love!!!
This song grew on me.
The color midnight blue and the song = perfect match!
ok I'm convinced Simone is a vampire! Was just watching old Epica videos, and she looks EXACTLY the same. 0.o
I'm a newer epica fan and this song is one of my favourites. The visualisers are breathtaking, as are the lyrics, choir and Simone's voice
me as well this was one of the first songs I heard from them it's brilliant
See them live if you can and haven't yet. I saw them opening for Sabaton last fall and they were amazing. Would love to see a full set.
@@jeffm9770 I saw and met them last month! Best experience of my life, they were so lovely :)
@@jeffm9770 hope you can see a full set someday :)
A 227 personas no les gusta?? pero, ¿por que??? - 227 people don't like this? Why??? This is soooo beautiful. Simone is the best!
Another beautiful sound evolution
🗣🗣🗣🗣Break loose from the chains
Rise above the waves
Fighting in the darkness
Dancing in the liiiiiiight..... those lyrics are stuck in my head 💙
EPICA iconic, gracias por este hermoso tema!!! Latinoamérica presente 🙌
I fell asleep on my desk, tired from too much work. Upon awakening I listened to Rivers. And I got chills down to my knees! Life is beautiful anyway!
Absolutely mindblowing! See you guys un August!
