Bro...you are absolutely right. This song is, for me, HUGE motivation. It is a song about not giving up, first. Second, its about facing your problems -- not like a coward, but a _warrior._ A _soldier._ People who are warriors, or soldiers, knows that when you know conflict is imminent, don't avoid it -- face it, head-on. Lastly, the chorus is about using what you go through in life as a "trial by fire," so that you can be made stronger with what you face. It's about embracing the heat of the forge, not shying away from it because it's hot. Many, many times I have used this song to keep fighting mental issues I have...to keep fighting the darkness that threatens, everyday, to drown me in that swarming, blackened rising. But I refuse to surrender. I refuse to go down without a fight. I refuse to not give everything I have within me, everything I am, to throw it into the fight. Only by not surrendering can I truly look at myself as a man, and as a human being. Bring it on, I say, if a battle is coming -- because I will never back down from any fight I know I can win.
I listened to this song a thousand times and actually never realised that the lyrics of the song go that deep. It's just the overwhelming power of the song that, i assume, kept me from really digging the meaning. I guess from now on the song will have a double powerfull effect on me. Really awesome concert and just like you said in your fantastic comments, it was/is on my bucketlist as well to attain a real live concert of Within Temptation. I even convinced my daughter to join me, although she had never heard of this band. She now is a big fan and we're really gonna enjoy their concert in april 2022. Can't wait.
More "Elements" show!! All are epic 😍😍 Put in 1080p - wow!! Fab reaction Mr H!!!! This should be getting 10,000+ views in a perfect world. You should do all 17 songs from this show - one at a time though to stop YT blocks. Sharon is an angel - a lovely, lovely real person🤩🤩
Definitely some of the highest energy you'll see on stage right here. Great powerful song as well, they're one of my favorite bands for a reason! As far as live shows, unfortunately they only have a livestream gig on the 8th and 9th of July, and only an European tour with Evanescence after that (going to both ofc).. I really hope they'll get to the states soon, you deserve some of that amazing energy!!
Love this song. They just announced that they will be doing a virtual concert soon. Definitely worth looking into that. And also they will be releasing a new single at that time too. So there is some good stuff to look forward to.
07:06 I can tell you that even during more modest tour in smaller concert halls with less people, no orchestral group, they still rock :D This song was part of their Unforgiving tour in 2011, i saw them in Paris, at that time she just had a newborn baby so after the concert they didn't have time to stay and do some photos and signing, but she took the time a couple of days later to explain that she had to rush at the hotel to take care of her baby and that for their next tour, they'll make up to the french audience, and they did : in 2014 during the Hydra tour, they stayed a little longer to sing a song unplugged just because they were upset to not had time 3 years before to stay and meet the fans. That's how considerate they are toward their audience and we love them for that :)
Saw within Temptation in Birmingham UK O2 Arena Absolutely fantastic! Been a fan for 25 years ever since they formed. Watched them grow and grow. And they have never disappointed!! They love their Fan Base as much as the Fan Base loves them.
This was by far their biggest production so far. It was a 1 time show for their 15th anniversary. They used the stage from another show, called 'Night of the Proms', which was held in the weeks before and after the 'Elements' show from Within Temptation. Just to say that this is not their average size show. Nevertheless a WT-show should always be on your bucket list. I helped assemble the mechanisms that enabled the big lights to move around for these shows, which was quite a hassle. It was very sattisfying to see them in action at Elements afterwards. I'll remember this show till I die.
I can 100% say this band is amazing in concert....I attended the show at the Worcester Palladium in Worcester, MA back on her Unforgiven tour and even though it is a tiny venue only seated maybe 1000 people the show was absolutely amazing and is a concert I will remember forever. Edit: as far as other bands you may want to check out if you like them there are lots Delain (Sever, Shattered We are the Others), Epica (Cry for the Moon, Chasing the Dragon), Sirenia (Sister Nightfall, A Shadow of your Own Self), Nightwish (End of All Hope, Nemo, Ghost Love Score), Visions of Atlantis (Lost, Cast Away, Lovebearing Storm)...actually lots more...that is just some of them off the top of my head...most are good but Within Temptation is included in the top tier imo
About the band: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Within_Temptation Within Temptation is a Dutch symphonic metal band founded in April 1996 by vocalist Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt.[3] They have always been classified by critics as gothic metal and symphonic metal, although each album contains other influences outside these genres. Their most prominent and well-known sound is described as symphonic metal,[4] although their earlier material, such as debut album Enter, was mostly gothic metal,[4][5][6][7] with Enter also having a hint of doom metal. In an interview, den Adel said they fell into a symphonic rock genre with various influences.[8] In a later interview with Dutch music platform 3VOOR12, den Adel stated that "we consider ourselves more a symphonic rock band ... in my opinion, we are no gothic band".
Lyrics: Left in the darkness Here on your own Woke up a memory Feeling the pain You cannot deny it There's nothing to say It's all that you need to find the way Oh Damn, the war is coming! Oh Damn, you feel you want it! Oh Damn, just bring it on today! You can't live without the fire It's the heat that makes you strong 'Cause you're born to live and fight it all the way You can hide what lies inside you It's the only thing you know You're embracing that, never walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away Raised in this madness, you're on your own It made you fearless, nothing to lose Dreams are a drug here, they get in your way That's what you need to fight day by day Oh Damn, the war is coming!

Exit Eden "Unfaithful" (Rihanna cover). Official video. They're very unique. They're composed of 4 ladies from other bands or projects coming together for Exit Eden. And this cover is amazing.
You need a lot of holidays to visit all that great concerts in Netherland. Epica, Kensington,Anouk , Ladies of Soul, Concerts at sea with Blof, Pink Pop etc etc.

Adrenalin ! Good solid rock bands - The Sweet, Status Quo, Slade, Within Temptation. Descended from Sirens - Kate Bush, Toyah, Blondie (Debbie Harry), The Tourists (Annie Lennox).
For band suggestion… I’d say Unleash The Archers .. A Canadian power metal band featuring great musicianship and a singer , Brittany Slays, who has a powerful voice that can possibly shatter glass. Awakening is a good starter song.
For me Within Temptation and Muse are two the best live bands, check out Muse Plug In Baby live at Rome Olympic Stadium, you will love it! If there are male sirens Matt from Muse must be one of them ;)
Lol dude. You are legend! So to pick one of a few just to give you. Kamelot. Would be my 1 suggestion. Got a link to a good one live and this features Epica's lead singer Simone Simons. Like Tarja and WT they like guest singers too. Bands like Epica, Nightwish, WT, Delain, Tarja, Kamelot, Amaranthe, Ayreon, Sirenia, Xandria and a few others who've once been or still are labelled symphonic metal kind of all know each other and work together at times. All these are great and I'm sure you'll get to them at some point. But to pick one for now to not overload... Kamelot. ua-cam.com/video/RsMXxxDMFYY/v-deo.html
You want power? Nightfall live by Blind Guardian. And the Story Ends live by Blind Guardian. Majesty live by Blind Guardian!!! :) Well, you did ask!!!!!

Uauuuuuuuuuuu... Sharon is Wonderful
Been following Within Temptation since about ‘97. Check out Kamelot too. ‘March of Mephistopheles’ as a taster

Hey, that comment you add mid vid, I PREACH THAT!!
I was there, thats the opening song. Highlight of my life.
Lyrics:
Left in the darkness
Here on your own
Woke up a memory
Feeling the pain
You cannot deny it
There's nothing to say
It's all that you need to find the way
Oh Damn, the war is coming!
Oh Damn, you feel you want it!
Oh Damn, just bring it on today!
You can't live without the fire
It's the heat that makes you strong
'Cause you're born to live and fight it all the way
You can hide what lies inside you
It's the only thing you know
You're embracing that, never walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Raised in this madness, you're on your own
It made you fearless, nothing to lose
Dreams are a drug here, they get in your way
That's what you need to fight day by day
Oh Damn, the war is coming!
Oh Damn, you feel you want it!
Oh Damn, just bring…

Sinead , Stairway To The Skies and Say My Name from the same DVD you love it
You really need to listen to Halestorm. Lazy Hale has strong rocking vocals. Very talented.
I think this was the show opener
Adrenalin !
Good solid rock bands - The Sweet, Status Quo, Slade, Within Temptation.
Descended from Sirens - Kate Bush, Toyah, Blondie (Debbie Harry), The Tourists (Annie Lennox).
For band suggestion… I’d say Unleash The Archers .. A Canadian power metal band featuring great musicianship and a singer , Brittany Slays, who has a powerful voice that can possibly shatter glass. Awakening is a good starter song.
Within Temptation & Evanescence Worlds Colide Concert monday 11 tuesday 12 of april 2022 ..Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam The Netherlands
Delain, lacuna coil, epica, unleash the archers, arch enemy, amaranth, kamelot...
Amen!
For me Within Temptation and Muse are two the best live bands, check out Muse Plug In Baby live at Rome Olympic Stadium, you will love it! If there are male sirens Matt from Muse must be one of them ;)
Powerful rock opera type voice...not bad.
You need to listen to within temptation "And we run" featuring Xzibit and Unleash the Archers "Awakening "
You need to hear hailstorm I am the fire video. She rocks it hard.
Riaction "ông bà già tao lo hết" Bình gold
Thank you
Look at epica for power
Sancta terra would be a good one
You miss the best... The into... Please watch it blow your mind...
The Iron dress 😍😍😍😍😍

P.s. still think it would be hilarious to see you react to WT entertain you video. They do some of the best music vids.
@@lauralee98 True, but the MV's tend to get blocked, although he could get lucky,
Kamelot is a good choice though, and Sirenia also.
Yeah it's true but weird. No rhyme nor reason. Some do yet then there are loads floating around too 🤔.
i want to talk to you you are so wright and so wrang with this song iron
Don't. Forget about kamelot
You want power? Nightfall live by Blind Guardian. And the Story Ends live by Blind Guardian. Majesty live by Blind Guardian!!! :) Well, you did ask!!!!!
You should do some epica and
