Anneke & The Metropole Orkest - Strange Machines

Metropole Orkest and The Gathering's Anneke Van Giersbergen perform Strange Machines.

It has always been in the back of my mind
Dreaming about going to the corners of time
I always wanted to fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch the world war II and Cleopatra
Flying...

Could it be that my dream would come true
Building a machine that would actually do
What I want it to do

Russian revolution, let's do that in one day
Beethoven and Gershwin I think that would be o.k.
More than anything I wanna fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And see it with my eyes
Watch Jesus rise, if he ever did
Flying...

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch renaissance and Chaka Khan
Flying...

The original track can be found on The Gathering album "Mandylion".Anneke was a singer of this band for 10 years.

[PetroleumHead]

13 years actually, she officially joined in 1994

[Bartolomeus9]

there is no match...never seen this performance before, and I guess it's no wonder it isn't in the standard collection of the Gathering recordings. Just my opinion/taste...

[PetroleumHead]

It's on the B-Sides album. I forget what single it's from, but you can get it on Accessories.

What a extreme beautiful girl

WE LOVE YOU ANNEKE

[DenAdelFan33]

How the heck to I go all this time and just NOW stumble on this incredible band (The Gathering) and singer (Anneke)??

Different...that's for sure. But incredibly charismatic...and artistic. This is waaaay outside my usual music "box"...but after watching this several times (along with "Leaves" done at same performance), I'm hooked. Can't get enough of this artist. Anneke...thanks for being confident enough to make the music you feel...'cause I'm feeling it too (now)...this song makes us fly.
