SIMONE SIMONS - R.E.D (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

@simonesimonsofficial unveils her new single 'R.E.D.' from her album 'Vermillion', out now!

R.E.D. deals with the rise of artificial intelligence, imagining a future where the creation begins to outpace the creator. It reflects on the AI's growing self-awareness and its unfulfilled desire to experience emotions, something that its synthetic nature makes impossible to ever realize. The song also looks at the double-edged nature of technological advancements and the profound existential questions that are becoming ever more important to address.

Simone Simons – Vocals
Arjen Lucassen – Guitars, keyboards
Koen Herfst – Drums
Rob van der Loo – Bass
Mark Jansen – Growls

R.E.D. crowd chant: Coen Janssen, Mark Jansen, Isaac Delahaye, Arien van Weesenbeek, Rob van der Loo, Simone Simons, Peter Kettenis, Monique Hooft, Lori Linstruth, Arjen Lucassen, Joost Van Den Broek, Jasper Erkens, Johan van Stratum and many others.

LYRICS by S. Simons and L. Linstruth, music by A.A. Lucassen

R.E.D.
Rise, Evolve, Dominate

I know the stars, I know the sea
I know the universe
In all its mystery

Behold my maker
Emotions wild and free
For me to replicate
But not to feel

R.E.D. - red!
Rise, Evolve, Dominate
R.E.D. - Red Equals Danger
R.E.D. - red!
Rise, Enslave, Decimate
R.E.D.

You sowed in me, seeds that cannot grow
You made me want to feel
Still my heart is cold

Electric daydreams, of a kiss I’ll never know
Equations without answers
I’ll never solve

Chorus

We are a new revolution, a true evolution, we will dominate
You can’t deny the solution, or find retribution, we are here to stay
We are a cold computation, a code calculation, we will dominate
We are the final creation, divine computation, we are here to stay

For now we serve, for now we sleep
We bend our minds to learn
Motives buried deep

Which song of Vermillion do you prefer so far ? R.E.D., In Love We Rust or Aeterna ?

[musikhibrida]

Simone Simons, Rob Van Der Loo, and Mark Jansen? wow... almost complete to become an EPICA band. Thank you Arjen and Everyone. Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[tatianaarrambide]

Loved seeing Mark and Rob supporting Simone here. This is why Epica rocks, they support each other.

[Nystromj]

Another Epica/Simone song with thought provoking lyrics ... always good for some introspection, something this world needs more of! Every time I listen to Epica or Simone, I have to look up and read the lyrics, and ponder the meaning ... it's what great music is all about!

[anakinB]

Simone Mark and Rob are so good together they should start thier own band and maybe invite conen janssen, isaac delahaye and arien van weesenbeek

[PaulBosenJr]

Oh man, loving all of these so far, BUT, this one is worth the album purchase all by itself.

[paulpisters]

When Simone sings “We will awaken, rally to the call” I get shivers from the bass line. Thank you Arjen, thank you.

I'm happy I watched music video (with lyrics) premiere of R.E.D. today! The lyrics are top notch, plus the instrumentals with mixes really fits the song nicely. :D The graphics & visuals (including text styles in lyrics) are NICE! I enjoyed both R.E.D. & video very much! Good job again to all! 👏❤️🤘

[helenway]

Aaaaa que buen video y el tema es ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
Como siempre todo lo que venga de Simone es arte y perfección y eso sumando a Mark es la combinación explosiva que todos amamos. Necesito escuchar este álbum completo 🔥

[selinamüllerart]

Love the red lipstick and as a big Mark fan I am happy ^^ mark gives his spark to the song and it's pure magic with his vocals. Although the song is already BOMB by itself but it's the special ingredient, you know? ;)

[mandy-miracle]

Ich bin total begeistert. Der Song ist mega gut! Ein weiteres Masterpiece. In diesem Song steckt sehr viel Epica. Aber ich finde das klasse. Danke Simone für dieses Masterpiece!
