[@Philblackmarquis]

Thanks a lot! Can you maybe add the albums from which the tracks come? Which track is from the forthcoming album De Doorne? Tx

[@yvesdi]

Song to the Siren (Tim Buckley cover). Tim Buckley released the original version in 1970. This Mortal Coil covered 'Song to the Siren' in 1984, Robert Plant did the same in 2002. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_to_the_Siren

Beyond beautiful. Full immersion

[@jacekdyminski982]

It actually is...they got so much to offer🔥🔥🔥

[@GeneralGrausam]

Having the voice to speak the agony felt inside. To be able to suffer, so bitter the is only abyss on the horizon. To accept that, to make it a part of yourself and let it be a part of you. That, is the only salvation there is. To accept the pain. It is if not the largest part of our life. But after the the insufferable darkness, there will be a new dawn. New light will graze though the mist and lead you to your heart.

I'm so much in love with this music❤. Love Amenra. Best band ever. Calms me down in deze chaotische- digitale en individualistische wereld. Thank you

[@nicholash3167]

FUCKING PRACHTIG

[@phrjcf]

I love this version of De Evenmens so much

[@ciikh]

Totally agree! The album version of this song gives me goosebumps every time... But this version is also fuc.kin brilliant. Just great, this band. I have ordered tickets for their gig in March 2025 in Belgium. Can't wait to see them for the very first time.

[@SunnyefloW]

I love this more each time I listen to it. ❤

Never expected to hear top trip hop stuff from them. Amenra Impresses each every time

[@BeardedDubstep]

*Portishead themselves was quoted to say that hip hop or trip hop has nothing to do with their music.

[@doctorhilarious7782]

It's like meeting my brothers, whom I have not seen for a long time and when we met I got this feeling that we all share quite similar emotions about life. Beautiful beyond comprehension. Amenra is the crew!!!

[@TheValueOfN]

I wish that they'd use this style for some of their songs and then kick us in the face by going absolutely ballistic halfway through into an epic, heavy-as-fuck, extended, head-nodding outro. I wish for even more dynamics in Amenra's music.

[@stellartransitions1149]

[@sonja7halcyon]

Same! I’m addicted to this particular gig keep coming back to it. The acoustics of the cathedral, the beautiful artwork surrounding them, the lighting, the planetary energy of the day and how it all moved through them in that particular moment... that untouchable, unknowable, unnamable pure magic.
