More Epica please 😀. The lyrics in this song is from an old German tale about a father losing he's child, the darker male voice represent the goblin calling for the child's soul. Something like that if I remember correctly.

@@DashyXDAndDadReacts The spoke parts are lines from the German poem "Erlkönig" by Goethe which tells that tale. In the song, the lines are translated to English. In the album version, those lnes are more audible.

Thank you again! 🖤🖤🖤 so would we!

Yeah, Nick Barret is an awesome guitarplayer as well. Pendragon , one of leading forces in prog, I've got all their albums. But back to Epica, phenomenal band. The Omega Alive show is a feast for eyes and ears. The current Epica line - up hasn't changed since 2012. So already 10 years they are doing epic things together. This song is taken from Epica's 7th album, The Holographic Principle. Omega Alive contains most songs from Omega but a bunch of others songs as well.

This version is one of the best ever from Once Upon A Nightmare, well to be honest I was a month ago in Tilburg with their 20th anniversary show and that version is even better, Simone sounded soooo powerful live on stage and with the best atmosphere and also maybe the best sound of all venues accross Europe. Thank you for this amazing reaction dear Dashy and Dad, you both are soooo amazing!! 🖤🤘🏻

You praised Isaac’s guitar playing and Simone’s singing deservedly, but did just say a few words about Coen’s piano playing which in my opinion carries the whole song. Coen is also the main composer for the song!

It was watching reactions by Elizabeth Zarrhoff Thecharisismaticvoice that got me into symphonic metal bands such as Epica, Kamelot & Nightwish as well as so many other artists & musical styles so its lovely watching you two discovering it for yourselves too 🤗. Sadly too many people in the UK are living in a nostalgia trip & are just sooo unnaware of the new music thats available to them & I find it really sad tbh.

@@bryanjibodh8806 That’s a story that is wrong but hard to kill. I guess they story has emerged because there unlike for Floor Jansen, there is very little official information available on Simone’s early years. Both the official web site of Epica as well as the Wikipedia articles tell very little about Simone’s school career. It is also rarely a topic in interviews. However, Simone does give the details in the documentary “Soaring Highs and Brutal Lows: The Voices of Women in Metal”. She went to a normal high school, no music school. She became MarK Jansen’s girlfriend when he was still member of After Forever and Floor was also member of After Forever at that time. That’s how they came to know each other. She should also be aware that Simone is 4 years younger than Floor. A the beginning Floor also helped Simone by giving her some tips on how to sing. After Mark left After Forever he formed Epica, and eventually he got Simone to join as a singer. She was only 17 at that time. After joining Epica, Simone dropped out of school. She did not finish high school. She continued however with private lessons, and for some time, she had Amanda Somerville as vocal coach (you can also see Amanda as background singer on the videos from the “We will take you with us DVD”. Amada was also vocal coach for Floor Jansen, another link. In 2010/2011, while Floor had her own band “Revamp”, she did a European tour together with Epica, and Simone was glad to have another girl to hang out wit on tour as all her band colleagues are boys. It is at that time that Floor started to do guest appearances in Sancta Terra while Simone did at least at one occasion do a guest appearance in the Revamp song “Sweet Curse”. In 2020/21 during Covid lockdown, Floor did an online interview with Simone on the topic of women in metal.
