I saw her on Halloween 2010! Yay for October concerts! And for my VIP ticket to see EA in Seattle this January! I can't wait to hear songs from FLAG! All my sentences end in exclamation points because I am just so effing excited and love this song so much!
i love how the background sounds like evp's, you mix that with the chilling awesomeness of Emilie's voice and her badass violin and you've got sumthing haunting and epic!
If she is playing violin on this, its a very nice piece of music. However her vocal's arent as moving as Bille Holidays version. Billie quite clearly felt the emotion in the melody and lyrics. EA seems to be singing it with no emotion and focuses more on the violin. Just my opinion. Not bashing EA....she is a talent.
@gloomyend It's because this wasn't origionally by her, it was by Hungarian composer Rezső Seress. She just did one of many covers of this song, and an amazing cover at that.
Taking into account "the art of suicide", EA is the most suited representative of victorian goth that should cover this sublime yet diabolic piece of art.
I can feel this so f*cking insidde of my brain and heart and bones.
It's not about i would commit suicide, but i guess, it was so many periods in my life, that are so well described by those lyrics, it would be a perfect soundtrack for many days..and months and maybe years..i just can't hold my tears, especially at this part" Little white flowers will never awaken you not where the black coach
of sorrow has taken you.." and it's not like i blah-blah about it.
Emilie my dear, I unconditionally love everything you do. But I must say, your first cover of this was absolutely perfect, left no need for this version.
this version is beautiful. i also like it better than others because it doesn't include the 'i was only dreaming' part, which seems to do justice to the song as a whole
This has to be one of the most covered songs ever. I like this version really much! Anna Singt and Edvin Marton's versions are amazing as well. Sarah Brightman was a dissapointment. She doesn't fit for that kind of songs.
This is much better than the first version of this song E.A made. I love it!
I noticed they said Emilie was the original author, thats not actually true. This song is known as the hungarian suicide song. It was writen by a hungarian composer and has always had urban miths surrousnding it about how it makes you want to commit suiside. Which obviously isnt true since it's been covered by everyone from Billie Holiday to Bjork.
Oh, it's wonderful live. She's wonderful live, just the passion she has with everything she does is amazing.
If you ever get a chance to see Emilie in concert, do it. It's very inexpensive, and amazing. It's much more of a cabaret, displaying many different styles of theatrics. It's simply wonderful!
I'm pretty sure Emilie Autumn can play both the violin and viola. From what I know, a violin can definitely not go this low... they can only go to around a G above middle C, and Violas can go all the way down to a middle C, which still being able to play the higher range, just not as easily.
Nah, it's a violin. It becomes expecially noticeable when notes are played on the E string. And none of the notes go lower than the G string. :) Pretty cool, though. Because the sound is kinda viola-ish in some places. But it's definitely a violin.
Wait a sec...upon closer examination, it's a violin that's tuned like a halfstep or a quarter tone down. More baroque like, I believe. Don't quote me on that, though. I'm not an expert, so I'm just going by a bit of this and that that I picked up from my teachers.
Between a violin and a viola? I'm not sure if that's what you were asking about (haha) but if so, then yeah. I play violin, and I CAN play viola adequately. The difference is that a viola is a bit bigger, and plays in a lower register. The strings for viola are A, D, G, C. Violin is E, A,D, G. :)
I cannot believe that this has been on here since October and I have only just discovered she did another cover.
Well, this is just astounding. There is so much emotion and the violin and noises in the background are eerie yet absolutely stunning. I was in love with it in the first five seconds.
this is one of the most beautiful things I ever heard.
I have this album on mp3s already. I couldn't say I'm surprised that this song is already on youtube. x) i'm not exactly approve of this, but... hell, let's share beauty. you have my blessing. :)
ha! she has my support....i've bought her re-edition album several months ago and when she realeses a NEW ALBUM i'll buy it, but i'm not going to buy the same once and once....because this is the 4 edition of opheliac and, of course, i'm not going to buy each edition she makes....and, we all know, there will be more editions....
FYI each new edition has been released by each new label EA is on. THE END records (who are releasing this version - the last version) are making sure that OPHELIAC gets sold in America at reasonable prices, instead of the expensive imports from Europe.
Well, maybe one standard copy of Opheliac it's enough for some people. I don't feel like to pay another time for a record that I mostly already have it.
Then don't. But if you want the new tracks (and if you want the right to call yourself a fan) then PAY for them. You can buy the individual tracks of her albums from her official site.
