Within Temptation - Mother Earth

[alectorejoice]

I forgot how awesome this band was :O

[ArtemisRide]

OMG I didn't know Sharon was Hedwig.

[TheTheratfarmer]

you better get your first person on top of this by monday morning.

[TheTheratfarmer]

so you now force this "radrunner records" on me. i'll drop you like a hot potato.

[sugacilic]

This song is awesome live. well they all are awesome live but this one especially :D

[TheMsAnnasocute]

i play that in my clarinet :D

[itischelsea]

eargasm

[gayjoshua1991]

is sharon a white witch i love her

[luckhurstgirl]

i love her white dress

[falinfreakster]

So... how is Lady Gaga more famous than Sharon?!?!?!?! DOES NOT COMPUTE.

[Elidhan]

@falinfreakster The first is an american pop idol who enjoys phenomenal publicity and media coverage. She makes mainstream pop music and performs in huge events.

The second is the frontwoman of a european gothic/rock/metal band, which is a relatively underground style of music. They perform in similarly underground events and enjoy next to no media coverage.

Everything computes just fine here. Try to compute it again and I'm sure it's going to work this time.

[lovingsinner24]

I just love her music and the dresses she wears. They make her look so elegant no matter what the song is about. I seriously doubt anyone could look as good as her in the same outfits. I will totally be a fan for a VERY long time to come. :)

[YummyFreelunch]

This is the way our forfathers, yes ALL of our forfathers, lived. And..mother earth will tell us when something is wrong..well..if you look around you..that time is now..it's time for the powers to be to take notice, you cannot keep killing your mother..without her..we cannot live!

[MusiccSpeakss]

oh dear.. what is a moshi monsters ad doing on a within temptation video?

[AMINIZWAN]

fuck!!!!!!!!go smoke grass..

[chrypto89]

@BaharAranLifeForest ... there is also no 'proof' that giants / faries / a teacup orbitting the sun doesnt exist...but would you believe in any of those?

Lack of proof against something doesnt lead to the conclusion that the thing therefore exists/should be believed in

[FinalFallenFantasy]

@chrypto89 I remain open to the existence of fairies XD. Also to the existence of a god. I don't know if either exist but I don't think they entirely don't and I'm quite happy with my own little religionthing I've got going.

Either way, no one can prove they don't exist, no one can prove they do - someone sees the world as proof that there is no god, someone else sees it all as proof that there is. It's tiresome having nuts, both religious and atheist, arguing over it constantly.

[chrypto89]

@batzion07 .... i agreed totally with you, right up until the point where you mentioned a fictional deity

[Nununda]

Why the F**K did I just have an Adam Lambert commercial before watching this video? There's not enough alcohol or therapy in the world to erase those 30 seconds of damage.

[vempire2000]

This is the most haunting and beautiful I have ever heard!! I am a lager loving, football mad 35 year old bloke yet I struggle to listen to this song without crying!!!

[nekorayne]

@vempire2000

I know a few I turned onto this band cause of this song. It really is as your put it haunting and beautiful.

[lovemaker1972]

i like dutch chicks they are great to fuck

[yayaLENTA]

@lovemaker1972 sounds like you've never been with ANY woman

[inqeu12]

Her voice is beyond enchanting

[SummerHaze90x]

Sharon is so gorgeous! I love her. xxx

[cynthiacaton]

The song is ok but the video is weird - too much wiggling and jerky motions. They also lose credibility with the owl.

[whitewingedkrad]

@cynthiacaton I love the arm wriggling especialy live when it gives you the best view ;P

[vempire2000]

@cynthiacaton I know it's your opinion which of course you are fully entitled to.....but seriously!!!!!!

[wafflecakepans]

@vempire2000 Everyone is entitled to an opinion

BUT YOURS IS FUCKING STUPID

[Lolita5025]

I love this song, and this band but um... The arm flailing... Too much? I think so.

[7654321roy]

@Lolita5025 lol dont worry, she does it ALL the GODDAMS TIME! but i love her anyway

[smileorfrown100]

Went to see WT live in Manchester, they performed this track and it was absolutely beautiful live! Better than I ever imagined. The whole night was purely amazing. I hope they come back to the UK soon.

[BA1NY93]

WT were epic live....saw them in birmingham, and they are awesome, recommend to anyone to go see them! WT forever....

[101BurtonFan101]

I've finally seen them livee, my life is now complete :')) <3

[cate462]

I LOVE YOUR SONGS . MY MOST FAV ISTHE HOWLING

[samwinchesterswife1]

@cate462 I <3 that song too!

[Kz3R100]

Hedwig is also dead.!

[97835721]

intro reminds me of lord of the rings for some reason...

[yodagreennutsack]

This is a touched band...

[boosibaby]

Brill...

[troyshereforu]

LOVE THE MUSIC, LOVE THE VIDEO .... ONE OF THE BEST GOTH BANDS EVER ....

[amyotcarelli]

She moves as a wicca ceremonie. 

[madder66mortem]

Nice song. Nice vid.

[TheAustinStringer]

It buffered at 2:07.. Hilarious!! XD

[CokedUpPuppy]

3:19 DAMN ROBERT, YOU SCARY!

[xsullenlyxstonedx]

PS. Sharon wins because she's got Robert! haha i'm in love with him in this video...

[sammy982192]

Only 45,675 views.. The new generation are busy watching Bieber and Gaga videos.. Arggghhhh...

[SuperBoredom18]

HOLY CHEESE ITS HEDWIG

[EliteSorceress]

Yay :3 the owl looks like hedwig. Only that is a Barn Owl T^T

WHO CARES!? Harry Potter-ish effects here suites all the video!

[xsullenlyxstonedx]

really wicked, fuckin' love the song and vid.

[BlabberfaceCandy]

i will always love this video!!

[gingerclub5]

cool i love the dance moves

[yellowreed12]

When she wheres that white dress, she reminds me of Kaylen

[yellowreed12]

@yellowreed12 From Legand of the Seeker

[xwhoiwant2bex]

I swear, God does send angels from heaven...just listen to her.. her voice is not of this world it is so BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[imnotgivingmynametou]

4 years later and I finally realise how silly these videos are xD Still love the music though.

[gss1029]

Is there a song with bagpipes and violin?

[MrKirsune]

@gss1029 Skillet:Awake and Alive (violin)

[FlyingAce1016]

the intro sounds so medieval :D

[iSemiDelux]

watch?v=ECPMvsp9Cxg

[ngohpx]

i remember watching this in 2008 ;u; it was good. just came to rewatch it. and it's still good ;u; no surprises here~

[Eastra3]

those 7 dislikes are going to have a tornado go through there houses.

[supermusicfreak101]

HEDWIG!!!! HARRY IS GOING TO BE SO HAPPY!!!

[jakanddaxterrules24]

@supermusicfreak101 spoiler much?

[supermusicfreak101]

@jakanddaxterrules24 I didn't say anything.

[jakanddaxterrules24]

@supermusicfreak101 you hinted

[supermusicfreak101]

@jakanddaxterrules24 Doesn't count. :b

[jakanddaxterrules24]

@supermusicfreak101 why not

[supermusicfreak101]

@jakanddaxterrules24 I didn't outright say it!!! :b

[Alysin123]

@supermusicfreak101 hell to the ya

[supermusicfreak101]

@Alysin123 :)

[AznAlchemy]

@supermusicfreak101 Hedwig's a Snowy Owl, the owl in the MV is a Barn Owl

Just pointing that out :3

[supermusicfreak101]

@AznAlchemy I know, I was just saying that they look similar.

[Mbunnychannel]

@supermusicfreak101 lol

[munekaPilaree]

Used this song for a powerpoint presentation :) SHE IS AWESOME.

[batzion07]

we cannot take this beautiful planet and all that is within it for granted. Our greed and vanity have already destroyed so much of it... let us respect and love what God has blessed us with...

[Kinpatsulozz44]

@batzion07 I had almost finished reading your comment, about to thumbs up-but then I read "what God has blessed us with" and my curser just so happened to slip to the reply button instead.

Now, I have a questiion for you... Do you have any proof your god is real? I've read the Christian Bible-was forced to by a school teacher-and found it extremely unrealistic. If the world started off with two humans, most of us would be disabled etc.

[sacrificialrock]

@Kinpatsulozz44 k, so im a nonbeliever too, but lets just let people do as they will. believe what they want.

[BaharAranLifeForest]

@Kinpatsulozz44 I'm gong to say this out of the pure fact that I have nothing better to do. No one has proof of God(dess)(s), but we also have no proof that there isn't. Let people believe what they want, and live and let live. Some people who complain about religion annoy the heck out of me because they can't just let people believe what they believe and let themself believe what they want to believe. If you don't believe in God, good for you! Who cares?

[Wubblez10]

1:44-1:47 either Robert or Jeroen ... ,I always confuse them T___T my eyes twitch way too much, looks like an anime :D or a video game character in motion

[Wubblez10]

I can see that they're becoming regonized by more people :D *napoleon dynamite voice* YES!

Lmaoo <3 I freaking love them forever and ever, it's because of them that my life is complete<3

[QueenBenacana]

I can't ever believe how they get it together so easily

[Satellitegirl41]

Great song.  Also *waves hands around dramatically.*

[Anthropophagism]

Great song, stupid video. Put your arms down, lady.

[gembelobosok]

BRAVO!

[100disturbedrule]

is sad at the low amount of views

[deathbanana888]

Why all of that almost italian gesticulation? Don't get me wrong, I like within temptation, but that doesnt mean I understand it.

[earwig17]

I kinda hate this band but this song and video are an exception.

[ThePoetsWolf09]

@earwig17 LOL same!

[LocoNativoz]

she's always rocking out in prom dresses lmao cool beans

[JesusIsMyLightAlways]

Within Temptation stole my heart in 2004...

and my heart has been beating their songs ever sense...

I love WT!!!!!!

old and new their music is enchanting!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

WT FOREVER!!!!!

I get to see them in September!!! First time ever!!!! So exicted!!!!!!!

[spinitandembraceit]

THIS SHOULD BE IN TWILIGHT!

[p4ss170n]

@spinitandembraceit I despise you somewhat... if only because you brought that movie into this... please don't take that wrong... I just despise the movie and you somewhat because of your association with it...

[gildedsinn]

@p4ss170n You sound like a tool.

[p4ss170n]

@gildedsinn ... I could say I was a tool, but then I would say I was useful for at least something, or that I was a multi-tool, not otherwise lame, incompetent or in any sever way hampered in retardation( it's not a double negative, btw). You my good sir sound like a fool, also, I could not get into the books, and tried to watch the movie... dreadful on all accounts.

[gildedsinn]

@p4ss170n And you're proving me right by sounding like a pretentious asshole :) btw I'm a lady.

[gildedsinn]

@p4ss170n Also, I wasn't commenting on twilight. I was commenting on you. =/

[whitewingedkrad]

@p4ss170n How do you know he was talking about the movie and not the book ?

[supermusicfreak101]

@spinitandembraceit I hate that movie. Vampires blow up, not sparkle.

[halisan1]

This should be somewhere in Skyrim

[t1oxETy]

eh i dont really like her voice :p im to use to night wishes singers XD

[PianoMusicMageLucky7]

*sighs* Vevo...

Sorry, but I can't see how Within Temptation, an EPIC band, relates to some random shampoo brand.

[DarksiderStudios]

@PianoMusicMageLucky7 Well, this isn't VEVO, but okay.

[alchemist4evr]

Her, Ellen Dugan and Laura Powers got me into Wicca. Long live Mother Earth!

[Feydrian]

ok im not sure what one but I swear to god this song started playing in a Saw movie!!! just the beginning instrumental from what i remember

[tobigoodboy12]

This is the kind of music that gets me inspired. Thank you Within Temptation. <3

[metalluv4]

Dumb lyrics but the band is good.

[eskittesb]

pagan jazz hands.

[icakaoko11]

:D my favorite band...kind of ecogothsssss

[SugoiSeshira761]

@icakaoko11 moreso celtic metal imo :3

[WolfzCA]

Why do I feel like these guys are similar to that of Nightwish?

[cutiebug013]

@WolfzCA the two bands are quite similar aren't they

[hapbeyguano]

that is just the music flowing from her fingertips...

[Sylvanas17]

good music, shit video

[alyzzaseye]

no one messes with Mother Earth...

[justmusic888]

God rules until the end of time He gives and He takes.



[disturbeda7xfan]

I like this song.... but she needs to chill the fuck out with the flowing arms and the convulsions >.<

[WORMIE4456W]

dam! very pretty but im sorry but amy lee is better

[Thor93d]

The one problem i have with wt videos is sometimes Sharon like just starts.....convulsing

[crazydaniluv]

@Thor93d LOLOLOLOLOL

It's the Shannon Dance!!! We accept it though. When you can sing like -that- some leniency is due lol

[SugoiSeshira761]

@crazydaniluv lol, her name's Sharon, just pointing that out there... >w<

[Thor93d]

OWL

[theamvgirlx]

Reminds me of world of warcraft... don't ask why.

[Alpeche21]

I grew up to this song.. I still listen to it this day, and I will never forget it. It's the song that has got me into symphonic metal. I feel a great amount of nostalgia when I listen to it and it's just blissful! I'm glad my siblings educated me in terms of music.

[SavageManifest]

lol i didn't know Hermione and Voldermort had a band together.

[Bevinnia]

@SavageManifest Where's the funny?

[rmawer1986]

The haunting irony of this song is considering this was released 10 years ago, in those past 10 years, Mother Earth certainly has gone her own way too, but I suppose if they used the lyric "Until the end of time, she'll f**k you up" it wouldn't be quite so mystical. Excellent tune!

[StarQueenEms1994]

This song and video are both beautiful. Sharon has such an amazing voice, and is also very beautiful. Within Temptation is an amazing band.

[MidoriGal17]

I love this song. But I'm not impressed by the music video. Oh well I found my love for Within Temptation through the songs.. and for me that is what counts ^-^

[Wollweepop]

people!! if you love this song too much... press F5 a couple of times , it should be a cure :)

[buffy9990]

Love this song sooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!

[nanahc]

their alright but i bit weak personally, the bands funny looking all hardcore but play soft crap.

[MasakoXer]

@nanahc

exactly.

They're not hardcore.

[Korruptkonceptsinc]

@nanahc lol poor child, you are obviously like 12 due to your expectation of what is "hardcore" or that "hardcore" is even what they work at. and your definition of "soft crap" also shows alot about you. one day, hopefully you will learn to respect art for what it is, instead of judging it by what all the other kids think its supposed to be.

[nanahc]

@Korruptkonceptsinc 12? i thought i was 26 my mistake lol. i was not claiming them to be hardcore, i think those genre labels are lame i was using it in a descriptive manner, as in they look like they want to be like a nightwish but cant actually play like them.

[Korruptkonceptsinc]

@nanahc yea because everyone knows that the talent of a band should be judged by the label, and when bands of the same fucking genre sound similar, one has to be trying to copy the other. right? -.- bands are meant to be listened to, not compared. instead of belittling artists with claims of superiority of some bands over others, you should respect art and the artists for what they do.

[nanahc]

@Korruptkonceptsinc so i should respect this band for sounding average at best lol.

[Korruptkonceptsinc]

@nanahc no one said u had to like it.. but yes, their work should be respected as that of any other artists.

[hellsunicorn]

@nanahc While I personally tend to prefer Nightwish circa 1997-2002, they haven't really done anything worth a damn in almost 10 years while Within Temptation has put out a few rock solid albums. This might not be "Oceanborn", but it kicks the ass of the last musical abortion that Nightwish had with that power/pop vocalist.

[nanahc]

@hellsunicorn yeah i agree, that new chick is terrible. dont know what they wer thinking

[beautifulbirdy97]

@Korruptkonceptsinc You 2 are arguing with very long "sentences". Hardcore has different definitions. Comparing bands does nothing to their credibility or talent anyhow. And fyi 12 year old's aren't stupid or inexplicably immature as you're suggesting. I should know, I was one 2 years ago.

[Wulfnor]

She gives, she takes indeed! For the last month and a half since the Earthquake and Tsunami that caused the on going Fukushima Nuclear Disaster. I am constantly reminded of this song and it's message. She'll still be here long after we have destroyed ourselves. We are screwed!!! Think not. Your in denial. DO THE RESEARCH! Then you'll know how grim our future is going to be! Damn dirty G.E. nuclear engineers, you've damned us all to a living radioactive hell!

[garic2k]

rofl, total crap

[supermusicfreak101]

Hedwig!

What's sad is that I know more about Harry Potter than I do American history.

[AngelRapexxx]

Awesome.

[nikesb2406]

lol this is for real? seriously? wtf hahahahha

[mld566]

OMG, HEDWIG, IT'S YOU! YOU'RE BACK, HEDWIG, YOU'RE BACK! GUYS! HEDWIG DIDN'T DIE; SHE JUST LEFT TO DO A MUSIC VIDEO!

And a good one, at that!!

[gss1029]

@mld566 lol yep it is cool

[mimstar97]

The scariest bit in the video is... THE OWL! :D

[AsoyTemptation347]

I Love Sharon .

LOL !!

[LoveyoulessJess]

Ok comparing Sharon to Amy Lee is fine but please people dont say one "IS" better than the other, I really hate people that state their opinion as if its based on fact.

I'm sure im not the only one

[1callac]

how can you compare them thay are both sooooooo amazing

[xxChloedudexx]

AMY LEE IS BETTER THAN HER O_O

I LIKE SHARON

LOVE AMY LEE!

[chelzeaify]

i think itz beautiful. she reminds me of Amy Lee. i love the total karma.

[timzo17]

if mother earth decided to fight back the mechanical monster this would be the montage music lol

[lamme87]

So much better than Lady Gaga. Great voice.

[EnvisionerWill]

Not as spectacular as Ice Queen IMO, but very definitely in the same tradition. I don't know if they're the best band, but they definitely make some of the best videos I've ever seen, especialy if this is their "old and busted" stuff.

[boelankgototown]

soo amazing,like dreamer

[boelankgototown]

oh jesus crist,,, soo amazing

[crystalmoon116]

OMG I know what song I'm playing at my Earth Day Festival at school :D

[SoNDgs]

There is no way this is 2008

[piercematt]

@SoNDgs This is around 2000 or 2001

[raindanea]

shes amy lees from evenacence little sister

[simoniandavies]

@raindanea She is not Amy Lee's little sister. Her name is Sharon den Adel. The are both amazing.

[Twiggymaster666]

i have such a major crush on Sharon it's unbelivable

[kalinalunsford]

@Twiggymaster666 ha ha mee too! what language does she and the band talk?

[Twiggymaster666]

@kalinalunsford i think they are Dutch to the best of my knowledge

[sxc5rhcp]

she ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuules....UUUU­uuuuuuUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuu until the end of time. how beautiful, powerful and truthfull that verse is! I'm in love with her voice.

[awesomeshowcreator1]

these guys r cool :)

[hamiltoncrawler]

beautiful voice, great music .
