I just saw your short and thank you for the return. This song is about human life and how we should not tamper with what was bestowed upon us. If we lose sight of that, then we forget who we are. We have only one life so make of it what you can of it but don't lose sight of that gift.🌹
Hi PB, another song from the same show, this is one of EPICAs beautiful ballads, featuring the three cello players from the band Apocalyptica 🙃 EPICA feat. APOCALYPTICA - Rivers (Live At The AFAS LIVE)
If you check out 'Consign to Oblivion' from this same concert (AFAS Live) you can see how much fun they have and very professional musicians (entertainers).
Their melodies are always catchy and beautiful, but it's also heavy enough for me, as I prefer heavier metal. I love this band. And Simone's soprano is outstanding!
I thank my wife who made me discover this fabulous band with kingdom of heaven part 1 and I was pulverised I'm not exaggerating... (a masterpiece to discover I think it's their best song even if there is no bad song) I was very trash / death metal, I knew Nightwish but after Tarja's departure I hadn't listened anymore and my wife is a violinist so she loves symphonic metal and told me listen to Epica and you'll tell me what you think. This group has everything, they are all extremely talented, in concert they are very fun and nice. I love them . The death mix, sometimes black metal with her voice is just perfect , beauty and the beast
But honestly if you want to understand and really see what Epica is, you have to listen to kingdom of heaven part 1, in this song there is everything that makes Epica@@purplebutterflywithabrokenwing
The chemistry in the band is real, I have seen Epica live several times and there were always jokes on stage. Simone's song is here ua-cam.com/video/QYwb3FTH_z0/v-deo.html Oh almost forget, the producer of Simone´s song (album) is Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon) .
Hi Butterfly! Hope you keep going with Epica! Three suggestions from me: The Obsessive Devotion, live performance at Omega Alive (live, but without an audience, it was during the pandemic): ua-cam.com/video/KBcEOf2AqeA/v-deo.html Blank Infinity, live at Paradiso, in the early days of the band with the original lineup (3 out of 6 members have since been replaced): ua-cam.com/video/5LHZ5KA6lH4/v-deo.html Consign To Oblivion, live at Zenith in Paris: ua-cam.com/video/dkqyyUTCMUQ/v-deo.html
Bizarre good song. And then her upcoming "solo" stuff. Check out Aeterna, or "in love we rust" or " R.E.D.". All those songs were done in a cooperation with Arjen Lucassen from Ayreon. And you know it: All you need in life is: Nightwish Epica Ayreon Not necessarily in that order. The common thing in these three bands: they love what they are doing and it radiates from the podium!!!!!
To answer your question Johnathan Ratliff no nightwish has members that were in wintersun. And floor Jansen of nightwish taught Simone Simmons to sing and were roommates at one time so all the bands have some connection that way. Wintersun Alex ❄️👍
@@ManuelGuajardo-zd7hx Alex I’m sorry to report to you that both of those are legend of error Simone‘s vocal coaches were the music academy school she went to which I can name and also Amanda Sommerville not Floor. Also they were never roommates. This coming directly from Simone to me as I am a top tier Fire Patreon member of hers. So you know and don’t unknowingly share incorrect info
Simone has just released a new song, "Aeterna", from her upcoming solo album
Yes I heard someone needs to add that to the list 🤪😂❤️🤘🏻🎶
