currently drunk and watching this, as a women I am crying about the connection they share while singing. I think it might the most beautiful thing I've ever heard/seen I love within temptation so much. I'm only 19 but my father used to play all their albums on repeat and their songs send me right back to childhood. Particular long road trips. rediscovering them in my teens has been an amazing experience
Wow... I was just going to comment that and you guys noticed the same. @ 2:38 you can see by the guitar and piano players position that both were looking at the singers. I think that, as musicians, they are just happy watching 2 amazing singers with angelical voices. Plus Sharon and Anneke are so incredibly beautiful...
I saw another version of this video, and it was the first time that I had ever heard Anneke van Giersbergen singing - it was one of those moments that you think, 'How have I missed out on this for so long?!' Her voice is sublime, almost beyond words
Same here. I don't know how she had escaped my attention for so long! Check out her cover of "Wish You Were Here" (the one from 2020). It's just gorgeous.
Lost in the darkness, hoping for a sign Instead there is only silence Can't you hear my screams? Never stop hoping Need to know where you are But one thing is for sure You're always in my heart I'll find you somewhere I'll keep on trying until my dying day I just need to know whatever has happened The truth will free my soul Lost in the darkness, try to find your way home I want to embrace you and never let you go Almost hope you're in heaven so no one can hurt your soul Living in agony cause I just do not know Where you are I'll find you somewhere I'll keep on trying until my dying day I just need to know whatever has happened The truth will free my soul Wherever you are, I won't stop searching Whatever it takes, I need to know I'll find you somewhere I'll keep on trying until my dying day I just need to know whatever has happened The truth will free my soul
I feel privileged to have been at this, once in lifetime, performance. By far the most beautyfull ive been to. To the ppl who keep comparing anneke and sharon or say Sharon vs Anneke: You clearly dont get it. they made this TOGETHER and loved every second of it.

This is a true gem for me. I had a roommate last year when I was in Poland for Erasmus. He is a genius from Romania, and one day he calls me and says "have you listened to this one, it's incredible". I listen to this song and immediately this great friend comes to my mind. Hope you will have the greatest successes in life, mate.
Anneke van Giersbergen, she's from Netherlands. She was the lead vocalist in 'the Gathering' for 13 years, and now she has her own solo career, she has been involved in so many bands like: Anathema, Ayreon, Globus, Devin Townsend Project, Moonspell, Novembers Doom, Napalm Death, etc. listen to her, you won't regret it ;D
I listened to the studio version of this song before I watched this video and it's awesome to find out that Sharon can deliver the same range live instead of just glossing over a studio take like far too many singers do. I wish they had a stronger following in the US so they could do more touring here. Sharon is a powerhouse.
+Jemalacane0 The following of European bands in the states is growing. I saw Nightwish in Fort Lauderdale a couple of months ago and the venue was packed. The audience also knew very well the opening band Sabaton which did a great job that night.
I am ...to me it is timeless I first heard this 9.30.15 on my son's computer, sent to him by a young woman who loved him deeply. rec'd 9.28 11:00ish pm, the day he died unexpectedly..dont know if he heard it or not It still speaks to me clearly
@@user-dh6py8md1k Anneke van Giersbergen, formerly from "The Gathering". I recommend their 3rd (Mandylion) and 4th (Nighttime Birds) albums. As a start. :) Privet!
Put two outstanding vocal talents on the stage together, each showing total respect for each other and what you get is one of the best duets ever! 8 years ago and still listening :-D
I remember when I heard, "Stand My Ground" for the first time,, many years ago. Sharon´s voice just pierced through me like an arrow of happiness. I love her voice, so sweet and she looks like an angel!/Stockholm, Sweden
No matter how many times I hear this I still get tingles run down my spine when Anneke starts to sing... Even if I play it 100 times in a row still the same reaction... The crowd have no idea that they are witnessing something special, the band do though the way they look at each other, they knew what was happening. Lucky bastards sharing a stage with two amazing singers.
You might think that the title is a clickbait... But when you watch it, you can see that its absolutely spot on!! I've listenning to WT for... I don't know, more than one decade now, and i always find myself getting back to their songs, old or new. They are amazing!!
I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or year when someone likes it, I get reminded
Please add "Featuring Anneke van Giersbergen" in the title. She's certainly earned it.
2023 and still listening to this perfect magic moment ❤
These two voices together - awesome. Got goosebumps by listening to the song and it almost moved me to tears.
Yessss❤❤
Yes ❤️❤️
2024... 😜
@@JBertoMS 2024, and it's still true! 😆
This has got to be one of the most beautiful performances I’ve ever seen.
:O/) *
Sharon, Anneke, Floor and so many more. The dutch are blessed.
Every time I watch this video, it brings tears to my eyes.
Every time.
Same
Both Have Beautiful Voices That Compliment Each Other...
Yes you re right🥲

That camera shot showing the band's smiles as the two ladies voices combined....priceless
You're right,it's a great moment,love their reaction😉
2:38, priceless. Nice catch!
Me too
actually, i think these guys were smiling at each other :))

Lost in the darkness, hoping for a sign
Instead there is only silence
Can't you hear my screams?
Never stop hoping
Need to know where you are
But one thing is for sure
You're always in my heart
I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul
Lost in the darkness, try to find your way home
I want to embrace you and never let you go
Almost hope you're in heaven
so no one can hurt your soul
Living in agony cause I just do not know
Where you are
I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul
Wherever you are, I won't stop searching
Whatever it takes, I need to know
I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul
This video just blew my mind. I can't stop watching it, it's just so great.
I love their voices so much.
This is Anneke! Wow! I hadn't know her then! What a thundering connection! (sth similar was when I knew there's the sirens project)

The whole show was perfect, very enjoyable to listen to, Anneke looked beautiful singing somewhere.
This is perfection. Her voices are like two diamonds. When they sing together, it's beyond beautiful...
This song makes me cry every single time, I'm not sure why
Here in 2023!
2024 FUCK YEAH!
👍 Amazing performance!!! 🖖 ❤
This isn't really something I would normally listen to but this is just beautiful! Their voices are amazing together, I can't stop watching it! 😍
Still love this band 2022
Anneke is just simply my representation of perfection . btw its a shame that she is not mentionned in the title of this video .
Agreed. I legit think it was a "surprise". Amd what a beautiful surprise it was.
Amazing harmonies and I love how they kept switching parts.
2 Divas doing everything in their power to hold back as much as possible and not out do the other! :)
+Mike Kollin Exactly, thats the greatness of this version. The arrangement was excellent.
@Ad Lockhorst "Try not to..." is the key phrase. It's impossible, but we can try.
@@jeffk1482 well, sharon+tarja in paradise evoke the same feelings ;)
@@lonesurvivor5800 Agreed! I damn near broke the repeat button when that came out...
Just found this band by accident at 5:18 am, I will be lookng into these more tomorrow. Beautiful voices.
Anneke's voice is just sublime
Anneke!what a great artist.george ioannina greece
it brings tears to my eyes. and i almost never cry
The droplets of my soul cascade down my cheeks each time...
Oh, Anneke... Oh Sharon... Now I feel like my life is complete...
Breath taking on the harmonics, especially on the "whatever has happened" line.. sick

Do you have a link to the studio version?
THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY. THE BLEND OF THEIR VOICES LEAVES ME BREATHLESS.
Anyone else watching this in [current year+1] with their time machine parked outside?
I am, but I think I lost my time machine...
Multiple times, trying not to bump into me while enthralled by the bewitching maidens lyrical seduction...
I am, but went the long way
This video makes me feel a little high kind of like smoking weed. The song it's self is kind of creepy but the ladies are so soothing. I'ts strange

Everything Anneke sings turns into gold instantly.......wauw! wauw!
The problem isn't the band, it is the American audience.
The powerful voice of Annike really makes this song SO much better!!
Sharon and Anneke one of the best metal divas duets
No, it is THE best ;-)
Тарию забыли
@@Snaker99 не смеши Флор в разы лучше.
That's so beautiful it's breathtaking! I love both their voices so much. Combined, it's otherworldly.
The perfection of female vocals in metal!
Oof, not a lot of things give me Goosebumps, but this is certainly doing it.
This song saved my soul ! I will play this on my wedding day ! Love you Kris. I will worship you from the stars ! ❤🙏😇
It seems that i died and went to heaven...cause this song sounds like angels singing to me
The voices are perfect together....catched me from the moment they joint!! Love it..
Goosebumps. Every. Single. Time.
I've watched this dozens of times and until now had no idea that it's the same Anneke that also does a lot singing for Devin Townsend
There is just no getting tired of these performers or their music.
The best duet ever!
Anneke is insanely talented. I love WT, they are my favourite band, but Anneke is just something else.
Yes she is :-)
She can sing me to sleep every night😉
I absolutely love this song!
And Within Temtation paired with The Metropole Orchestra, what a beautiful combination!
2 beautiful women with beautiful music, was worth the time
Here are two angels singing.

Fantastic performance of SHARON and Anneke.
DIVINE SHARON. GREAT ANNEKE.
BUT, SHARON is SHARON. WHAT ARTIST. What a POWER and EXCELLENCE.
Their vocal tones blend perfectly...sister voices. Love it!
