Metal is such a wide genre. You have aggressive thrash, slow ballads, symphonic metal. One of the widest genres of music out there for sure.

[bilbobaggins]

Almost 12 years later and this is still one of the best music videos Ive ever seen. In my book, it would've won a grammy back when it was released.

[rielaxault]

The only thing more beautiful than Simone is Epica's music and the vocals she provides. Match made in heaven. 🙏🙏

[visionsofxtacy]

Epica and Nightwish are the faces of symphonic metal in my head and they always will be

[terrysimmons]

At 63 years old, I find this music fascinating. It's the combination of symphonic, metal rock, and Simone's strong vocals! Great stuff!

[weird_alex]

The moment when they are both singing at the same time is absolutely amazing. Blown away!

[AK-deej]

Simone's voice is like an angel's voice - when you hear her voice you probably will have goosebumps on the whole body. She is unique!!!

[MissyEmz]

It's interesting how Epica and Within Temptation are Dutch bands, and Nightwish is a Finnish band. Basically the whole symphonic metal genre is in Northern Europe. Must be the air or something.

[leoschultheiss]

Not only is Simone Simons incredibly talented and gifted but also she's strikingly beautiful & charismatic. A true metal goddess. Just like Tarja, Ailyn, Lori Lewis, Sharon etc, just to cite a few. We're beyond lucky to being able to listen to and appreciate each and every one of them🤘

[MarimoedaS]

OMG! Her eyes, her voice, this video, is awesome and beatiful. aTube Catcher here we go!

[kryst]

2:12 I love that little movement that she does with her head

[Diogeneshopes]

Words can't describe how amazing this song is.

[mirrorblack]

The lyrics are so deep that they make you think about life and continuity in time. This music is very emotional and moving.

[prestonbaumann]

I'm not even sure what it is about this, something about the synergy between the video, lyrics and the song itself is just beautiful. Something honestly feels inspiring about it to me, which I can't truthfully say about any other music video I've watched. I keep coming back to it whenever I need a little encouragement.

[matejkavc]

The growl in this song is sooo brutal and masculine. It gets me every time. The video amplifies the melody really well on that part. Masterpiece.

[batfreak]

I'm in love with her voice. She's unique.

[Jasmin-ukkz]

Saw this band in 2017 in Dallas Texas. It was an amazing night, this band is even better live. Such a great year it was for me.

[andreineamtu]

Amazing! The transition in the last part to the angelic voice of Simone is so movingly!

[paradoks]

Ребята, вы молодцы. Соединили два противоположных жанра, как день и ночь. Каждое Ваше произведение это шедевр. БРАВО !!!!
Guys, you are great. They combined two opposite genres, like day and night. Each of your creations is a masterpiece. BRAVO!!!!

[The-Punnkk]

Simone's head movements at 2:12. Love it
