Lyrics like the ones in Avantasia's songs are just increadible. More metal should be like this, not some guy screaming his loungs out, growling about death. Tobias sammet...my hat off to you.
man this would so be my wedding song if not for the fact i know what the lyrics mean. Edguy/ Avantasia are such outstanding bands. shame more bands like this don't exist in america :(
Tobias is simply an amazing songwriter regardless of style. Be thankful he is a beloved metal brother. Metal could use more songwriters like him. No doubt he is branching off into many styles,but the fact remains he nails them even if it is not the preferred stlye we would like to hear. I applaud him. A metal God and a songwriting phenom!
Nice song with meaningful lyrics. We, as human beings, all seek love, understanding and acceptance from others, particularly from 'that special someone'. Men & women may be different in many ways but in this regard we are all the same. We all experience the same feelings & emotions, no matter our sex. It's just that women are brought up to be more open with their feelings & in general feel more able to express them, whereas men are taught to hide them & to keep control over them.
the 'metal operas' while kinda strange at times were from the heart. i mean listen to 'another angel down' or 'the tower, there is frustration and wanting that doesn't exist in this one, and there is technical and theoretical personality that is very distinct. those songs sound like avantasia (to me), this one sounds like mainstream bandless rock/metal that can be popped into a playlist without a care and sound okay. needs more actual felt emotion
I can understand what you're trying to say, but if you take in to account songs such as "Anywhere" and "Cry Just A Little" they are not laddened with heavy drums and guitars, and yet they still manage to express the raw emotion that "Shelter From the Rain" and "Another Angel Down" do. This song was meant to be a calmer expression like the aforementioned two. I can feel the emotion in this song. It just depends on your perspective... Plus, it's a beautiful song.
My second fave from Tobi. Land of the miracle is just such a master piece to me, but this song comes so close. But to be fair i have to say Angra's Bleeding Heart takes it from the 3. no thumbs down. its just my thoughts, i love all 3!
In my opinion, Tobias Sammet has the best male voice in all metal genres. The power he delivers compares to no other. Plus, the feeling of the lyrics in the lates songs adds to the experience. I love Edguy and ADORE Avantasia.

es una bonita canción, pero me recuerda mucho tanto uno como otro, a Celine Dion y Brian Adams, incluso en las formas de cantar, creo que es el peor de los tres, y espero que saque un cuarto para ver si volvemos al estilo que tanto me gusto en los primero.
personaly it makes me think of the lion king lol i dono why it just sounds like a song that could fit in the movie. aannnnnyyy way...amazing tobias is my hero
damn... seems like Tobias was listening to conversations between me and my biggest crush... seriously they sounded like this (well, except that last part... thanks Tobias for the advice.
In other interesting bits.. I think the song is a nice break from the other hard songs from the album. Just perfect. Finally avantasia has reached mastery of Ayreon.. Still different, yet just as great.
she has played with epica....i mean she has sing with epica, she were part of the choir in "we will take you with us" dvd and she was on tour with avantasia thats the only bands i know until now....hope this is helpful for you
hahaha i love it, very touchful, sensible song...perfect to dedicate it to my love Yariel...he is in jail, so its almost the same situation (a.l.m.o.s.t.) ok?
amanda and tobias, wow! this song should be avantasia's promo song its like if avantasi where a movie, this is definetly credits song and promo song...btw..this song reminds me a lord of the ring song, i dont remember...
That was amazing!

Every man that has feeling in his heart feels like this once in his life. This is a sing that he has pure and true emotions in his heart.
