I LOVE Simone, but come on guys; don't forget about the amazing band that backs her! That's how the glory comes through as a whole! :) EPICA FOREVER!!
There are a couple of performances at PinkPop which reveal she is a bit off colour but this is not one of them. If this is how she sings when she's feeling a bit dodgy - doesn't leave much hope for other vocalists does it? It's Coen that fluffs a few notes particulraly in that intro (and he knows it!)!
Is the guy with the acoustic guitar and the guy on the keyboards are actually in the band? O.o cuz when I bought the design your universe album, I opened the booklet and saw the band. Behind Simone, was 4 dudes in black with long black hair. Now they look different? Oh yeah, Simone is probably the most beautiful symphonic metal female vocalist! Anyone else agree? x)
@ThePoetsWolf09 Yes, they are in the band haha! Isaac Delahaye is the one on guitar, and Coen Janssen is the one on keyboards. Look at their "names" in your booklet. :P
@BenjaTooooost Lol Coen? what a cool name, its different. Well, anyhow, you must have heard their Classical conspircy stuff right? wow it was amazing!! \m/ I just discovered it!
@ThePoetsWolf09 Yes hahaha! I have their entire discography on my iPod (all purchased LEGALLY). And it was actually their remix of the 'Spider Man' main theme that I heard of them (off The Classical Conspiracy). :) All you can do after you discover them is wonder WHY you hadn't sooner! At least thats how it was for me! (^_^)
Oh come now. Only the first note of the verses is significantly off. It's not an easy jump to do, and when your voice is off due to ilness it's virtually impossible to get it right. I think it's awesome she still manages to get those high notes out.
soy yo o Simone se muere en cada agudo que hace? es todo un sufrimiento... además se ve que forza mucho la voz, si sigue asi no le durará mucho tiempo, además con ese estilo casi creo le hace la competencia a Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston y Celine Dion, que weba, antes me gustaba más EPICA, que paso con los EPICA de los inicios? en fin...

Seeing Epica in 2010 live at the Hollywood House Of Blues was just EPIC!!! It was amazing. I still remember that performance. The whole band is fantastic. Simone as beautiful and angelic as ever :)
What a brilliant recovery at 4.04! If she hadn't glanced back at Coen we (non-Dutch) would never have noticed. Sign of a true Pro that and after it she didnt allow it to throw her but finished beautifully (although the start was dodgy - owing to Coen's inability to locate those white and black bits again !!). But overall - I prefer the PinkPop electric version which was phenomenal. This has to be the TOUGHEST SONG for Simone to perform live by a long chalk, and its even tougher acoustically.
In fact she did not forget the lyrics, but it was a keyboardist who played the wrong part. At the end of the video he makes a sign to her indicating that he had not heard right. Well, at least that's what I think ... And sorry for the mistakes in English ...
@aaronangra no she did forget the lyrics, it should've been "guides us through as you hear me, as you do, as you need me, making true what we knew would come all along"
Thank God this is how she sings when she´s sick!! :) Jeez! Beautiful! It´s been better, but it´s still great! I don´t think is singing it badly, just more contein, after all this is in a small space and the song is accustic, so it should be more soft. She did not have to pull her lungs out here. I think she did beautifully.She´s a great singer!
Hey... actually I´m not really sure. I think I just said that cuz, somebody here had a comment that she was sick that time. But it´s been such a long time that I can´t be sure, sorry. There was a time when she got sick it was posted on Epica´s website and everything, but I´m not so sure it was this period when she sang this song.
i like this song , but she sang better in other acoustic sesions, but we have to know that she was ill, and the good singers have bad moments in their carrere
@BlackDarkHeart i didnt know she was ill. I was starting to believe that she doesnt always prepare herself for singing opera. too bad that the 2 good quality concerts from the DYU tour (in milwaukee and Pinkpop) she was ill of her voice so she dindt sound opera
Simone's angelic voice captivated them all
