mzz.. i like Jacqueline Goveart's voice at the other version

[Detoxx2k7]

I prefer Astrids version, but Jaqueline's singing fits better in the atmosphere and mood of the Dream Sequencer album.

It usually comes down to which version you heard first. And that is the one you like.

[NekoCullen]

I love Ambeon (Ayreon)

[terrawolf77]

I dedicate this song to my sweet heart.

Wow... completely different. The other version is my fav off the album, but I don't like this version, but to each their own :)

@pikewerfer Ok, I agree that this version is too polished, especially the instrumental part. But still I like her voice better than the original. I don't think Jacqueline Govearts Version is bad...it is definitely better than most of the crap that is out there in the musical universe, but still I prefer this one :D

@Chaosbroken77 Well, but the girl singing is supposed to be Mayan (or was it Aztek?), so the song should have a native South American touch, which the original version and especially that amazing voice definitely has. This does not create any Mayan reference in me, it sounds too.... modern, too constructed. If this is how Arjen likes the song, then I would humbly disagree with him - although I am an Ayreon addict :-)

@pikewerfer Well, Ayreon is European so its okay for me :D But I can understand people not liking this version, its pretty different, although only the singer changed. I still prefere this one ;)

@Chaosbroken77 really? Has the opposite effect on me. The album version very much fits into what I would imagine this girl and this culture to sound like. This sounds way too..... European. Sorry, don't have a better word for it. One of my favorite Ayreon songs - the album version. This somehow sounds ... wrong, although the vocals are cool as such.
