Wow, it took me just now to realize that the lyrics on this version of the song have to do with helping people ("Here's to you walking miles for water," "We'll raise a million voices to call out," etc.). I think that it's because they recorded this version for UNICEF and then changed the lyrics on the album version.
nah, can't you see it? it's not the video's aspect ratio, that's why her face looks long and thinner. i think she looks still fine. man, i'm looking forward to the new album.
Sweet song! The studio version, as well as the other material on 'April Rain' will be great! Now, to get them over here to North America for a tour! :)

Maybe Charlotte is singing live, and the music is on tape. And indeed, you can't have an opinion, because if people don't like it, you'll always get thumbs down.
The chorus is pretty catchy. I hope that April Rain is at least as heavy as Lucidity. But I guess it's good that they have a poppy/catchy song to snag some new fans, I think.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh muy cierto :D bastante hermosa sobretodo el coro, me gusta la estrucvtura de esos acordes son muy bellos... E... C... G.... F# Hermosa :)
este tema da a saber que Delain y su nuevo album saisfaceran las espectativas de todos nosotros como amantes de su musica... jaja es solo que me parece que no os gusto la cancion para haber dicho, q hayan mejores canciones q esta.. esta es hermosa !!
its not direct sound, its the PA output, this is why it sounds so perfect, but its no playback at all. the "second voices" are the echoes of charlottes voice. thats an effect of the PA
nope the album version IS different, they wrote this originaly for a charity then they liked it but they changed the lyrics before putting it on the album =]
then I wonder, where is the girl that sings the other vocals? And its just... it looks tame...Expecially the drummer but also the guitar players. I'm not saying playbacking is bad, and I cannot know for sure if it is or not... I just get the idea its playbacked. And it would be cool if people didn't vote me down for saying that...
Not too bad.. Charlotte's voice is still amazing, otherwise i probably wouldn't give half a shit about Delain.. But maybe they still have something going ; ) good luck with the new work!!!
it's not play backed.. charlotte is singing. only the second voices are playbacked.. obviously the band can't have two more people on stage to do the secondary vocals.. especially on a stage that small
Can someone explain why the heck the lyrics on this video are completely different from the lyrics on the album??? Charlotte says something in Dutch about Unicef ( did I get it right?). Is she saying that this is a different version???
TRANSLATION: We heard about UNICEF and BT's “Inspiring Young Minds” campaign. We wanted to be a part of this and wrote the song "I'll Reach You" to possibly contribute. It will be available for download and will be on our new album. The proceeds will go to UNICEF. This is the UNICEF version of the song and is different from the APRIL RAIN version.
i'm liking this more and more, I just hope the rest of the album is a little more complex and metalish...the guitar, drums and bass look so boring, but the keyboards are nice
Man, there is no echoes! Are backing vocals how will be echos? Echoes with inteligent escale transpose? Other lines of melody not the same. God bless you
I hope their new album is better than this. It will be extremely difficult to top their previous album without the star-studded line up of guests they had before. This song is ok I guess but I hope for a less poppy sound.
Her voice is so much grown since 2006! Can't wait to see them at the releaseparty and at de Lantaarn!
have you listened to her recently?
I love it , delain my favorite groupe symphonique métal
beautiful early lyrics of this song

Simply beautiful!!! Great song and performance!!! :D :D :D XXXXXXXX
she is very beautiful :) and she has beautiful voice :)
my favorite song
What a voice. He must have been mad to lose her.😮
This girl is a swan in the making
Unfortunately she's flown off
These different words are hard to get used to...Charlotte looking gorgeous as usual!!
since the first time I've heard her voice.. I knew she had a great future..
fn amazing!
can't wait to get my hands on the new album
Sweet song! The studio version, as well as the other material on 'April Rain' will be great! Now, to get them over here to North America for a tour! :)

FADE OUT.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
Greetings from America!
I thought Delain's first album was pretty nice for what it was, I'm having a hard time waiting for the new one.
I love Wessels hair in this she looks a little like Sarah Chalke....... yoink!!!
Geweldig :D
Amazing Stuff Rock On Delain
I was just thinking about how much cuter this haircut is. It makes her face look thinner.
the first album was not sooo good i think...but the new songs are magic...her voice sounds so damn great!!! I love this song so much!
Maybe Charlotte is singing live, and the music is on tape. And indeed, you can't have an opinion, because if people don't like it, you'll always get thumbs down.
thank you for this vid, cant wait for the new album :) and charlotte is spectacular
The chorus is pretty catchy. I hope that April Rain is at least as heavy as Lucidity.
But I guess it's good that they have a poppy/catchy song to snag some new fans, I think.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh muy cierto :D
bastante hermosa sobretodo el coro, me gusta la estrucvtura de esos acordes son muy bellos...
E... C... G.... F#
Hermosa :)
If you can't tell that it's play backed then you've never seen a live show. Obviously them actually playing but there's a tape playing with the band.
They are from The Netherlands, so the language is Dutch.
Hey Eline, I will be there too:-)
I'm also going to Hedon and de Lantaarn.
Can't wait to hear more new songs.
April Rain is also a great song!
Can't wait for April Rain either :) I much prefer Charlotte's voice to the gruff vocals, I mean, stuff like Frozen were just amazing!
este tema da a saber que Delain y su nuevo album saisfaceran las espectativas de todos nosotros como amantes de su musica...
jaja es solo que me parece que no os gusto la cancion para haber dicho, q hayan mejores canciones q esta.. esta es hermosa !!

nope the album version IS different, they wrote this originaly for a charity then they liked it but they changed the lyrics before putting it on the album =]
what about the text, it changed. But its nice that way too. I love this song...
🤘🤘🤘
@linaabeann It's not fake, just an early version of the song with lyrics written for unicef
WOUWW
I LOVE ITT(l)
I get the idea the whole thing is playbacked... cool song anyway :)
Are these lyrics done as part of a special benefit for a charity? Definately not the same lyrics as the same song on the cd?
then I wonder, where is the girl that sings the other vocals?
And its just... it looks tame...Expecially the drummer but also the guitar players. I'm not saying playbacking is bad, and I cannot know for sure if it is or not... I just get the idea its playbacked. And it would be cool if people didn't vote me down for saying that...
release party? lucky bd.. :D
hope they realize there's a little country called Argentina =P
@jeroenbk All songs of Delain have English lyrics. :)
wow it's Paris journey's song........but the text is different.......
Not too bad.. Charlotte's voice is still amazing, otherwise i probably wouldn't give half a shit about Delain.. But maybe they still have something going ; ) good luck with the new work!!!
it's not play backed.. charlotte is singing.
only the second voices are playbacked..
obviously the band can't have two more people on stage to do the secondary vocals.. especially on a stage that small
they changed the lyrics since they recorded this a long time ago.
Nice song. Ronald's hair seems to get shorter every time i see him haha :P
Can someone explain why the heck the lyrics on this video are completely different from the lyrics on the album???
Charlotte says something in Dutch about Unicef ( did I get it right?). Is she saying that this is a different version???

This is the UNICEF version of the song and is different from the APRIL RAIN version.
ze intoneert altijd te laag in de hoogte :(
Maar verder echt mooi nummer :)
hmm must have been an earlier version of the song from the album version.
I'm not agree with you, she have realy awesome hair, and the song rocks ! Delain rocks!
i'm liking this more and more, I just hope the rest of the album is a little more complex and metalish...the guitar, drums and bass look so boring, but the keyboards are nice
They are from Google, use it.
Man, there is no echoes! Are backing vocals how will be echos? Echoes with inteligent escale transpose? Other lines of melody not the same. God bless you
I hope their new album is better than this. It will be extremely difficult to top their previous album without the star-studded line up of guests they had before. This song is ok I guess but I hope for a less poppy sound.
Does anyone know the lyrics to this song? I just figured out the chords and I want to put it on Ultimate Guitar but I can't tell the words.
I think the word you think that says lithium is nothing.
Different lyrics to the album version...
she uses too much vibrate.... in my opinion... but I like Delain...
Different lyrics
Charlotte's got a beautiful voice but she needs to move around a bit more. Her feet are like... Stuck to the ground.
she looks chinese in this video....btw, very good performance :)
dutch
bby
Of course the singer is going to stand out more she is the focus of the band, the music is very bland.
Not the best song they've done, kinda disapointing, too soft, hope theres more heavier tracks than this in April Rain.
Good song - bad singer. Her voice is too weak (but still better than before)
